532 ANNUAL REPORT SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, 1909. 
dating back to 1900. Of those founded since then, there should be 
mentioned: L’Homme Préhistorique (Paris), a monthly founded in 
1903; La Revue Préhistorique (Paris), a monthly founded in 1906; 
Praehistorische Zeitschrift (Berlin), founded in 1909; Mannus, 
Zeitschrift fiir Vorgeschichte, Organ der Deutschen Gesellschaft fiir 
Vorgeschichte (Wiirzburg), founded in 1909. In December, 1903, 
the Société Préhistorique de France was founded. It publishes-a 
monthly bulletin; also in 1906 a handbook appeared, Manuel de 
Recherches Préhistoriques, and since 1905 has held a congress annu- 
ally, each compte rendu of which forms a large volume of about a 
thousand pages. 
In addition to these new channels, there should be mentioned 
certain special publications made possible through the generosity of 
patrons of the science, either private individuals or learned societies. 
One of these, the joint werk of de Villeneuve, Verneau, and Boule, 
and entitled “ Les Grottes de Grimaldi*® (Baoussé-Roussé) ,” was due 
to the initiative of Prince Albert I. of Monaco. ‘The latter is at 
present promoting a new and important project, which might be 
styled a paleolithic survey of northern Spain. The work is in 
charge of a committee consisting of Hermilio Alcalde del Rio, P. 
Lorenzo Sierra, Abbé Henri Breuil, Abbé Jean Bouyssonie, and Dr. 
Hugo Obermaier. The report of last summer’s campaign ” is highly 
gratifying.and gives assurance of another publication worthy to 
rank with that on the caverns of Grimaldi. The Academie des In- 
scriptions et Belles-Lettres has also become a patron of prehistoric 
archeology, generously supporting from its funds the joint explora- 
tions of French caverns by Cartailhac and Breuil. 
This much increased literary output presupposes a corresponding 
activity in the field, the museum, and the study. A record of the 
explorations in the field alone would far surpass the limits of this 
paper. The results have been so comprehensive, so cumulative in 
their effect, that only the alert have been able to keep pace with the 
progress. It has been a period of intensive study as well as of gen- 
eralization. The careful scientific exploration of new stations has 
led to a revision of old data and often the re-exploration of old 
localities. 
A list of the more notable achievements would include such items 
as Rutot’s contributions to our knowledge of a pre-Chellean indus- 
try; those of Penck relating to man and the glacial period; the dis- 
covery of paleolithic human remains at Krapina,’? Mauer (near Hei-
