84 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914. 
Valuable relics of the Stone Age in Europe, consisting of 51 
originals and 17 casts of pre-paleolithic and 74 paleolithic imple- 
ments of Chellean stages of the paleolithic period, were received in 
exchange from Prof. A. Rutot, of the Royal Museum of Natural His- 
tory of Belgium. A collection of antiquities, also obtained in ex- 
change, from the Zoological Museum of the University of Copen- 
hagen, Denmark, through Mr. Herluf Winge, director, comprises 
65 stone implements, 47 shells, 2 pottery fragments, and 1 bone needle, 
from the kitchen middens of Denmark, and 59 animal bones from 
the kitchen middens of Iceland. Sixty-four paleolithic flints (Mous- 
terian type), 10 animals bones and 1 piece of breccia from the La 
Quina cave, France, were contributed by Dr. Henri Martin, of Paris, 
France; and a collection of early stone implements recently found in 
two caves of Jersey, England, were presented by Dr. R. R. Marett, 
of Exeter College, Oxford, England. 
The routine work was chiefly a continuation of the sorting and 
arrangement of the material of the Stone Age, including the prepa- 
ration of a slip inventory containing the necessary data for the card 
catalogue and labels. The addition of 16 table cases entailed the 
rearrangement of a part of the exhibition series and permitted a 
better and more adequate display of the collections. About 300 
ancient coins were determined and installed, and a considerable 
amount of material, especially of the Stone Age, which could not be 
exhibited, was placed in the bases of exhibition cases, where it is 
convenient for study and reference. 
Physical anthropology.—The accessions deserving of special notice, 
arranged somewhat in the order of their importance, were as follows: 
A collection of skeletons and skulls of Eskimo and Aleuts made for 
the Museum, under the direction of the curator, by Dr. Riley D. 
Moore; 21 crania of Buriats, the most important native tribe of cen- 
tral Siberia, and 5 Mongolian crania from the vicinity of Kiakhta, 
obtained for the Museum by Prof. A. V. BartaSov, of Troickosavsk, 
Siberia; 16 anatomical specimens and 12 casts of the brains of

Mr. Clarence B. Moore, of Philadelphia, Pa.; and 10 recent skulls, 
with 6 old skeletons and 2 skulls, from the district of Mélnik, Bohemia,

University, at Prague. Three valuable additions were made to the 
collection of casts of early man in Europe. They consisted of the 
skeletal remains of the Spy Man, obtained in exchange from the 
Université de Liége, Belgium, through Prof. Charles Fraipont, con- 
servator of its museum; a cast of the La Quina skull, also an ex- 
change, from Dr, Henri Martin, of Paris, France; and a cast of the
