the flight of time or with the 

 familiarity that publication gives 

 them. Indeed, the marvel is 

 ever renewed and strengthened 

 as the problems of their concep- 

 tion and building are brought 

 time after time to our attention. 

 The illustration is copied from

The place of archeology in hu-

 Anthropology is regarded as 

 presenting two distinct phases : 

 The practical, which relates to 

 the present and future, and the 

 historical, which relates to the 

 present and past. The sources 

 of information to be drawn upon 

 in treating the historical phase 

 are the intentional or purpose- 

 ful records, monumental and 

 written, a small fraction only of 

 the entire record ; and the non- 

 intentional or fortuitous records, 

 the forgotten remains of man 

 and his works, which are the 

 subject matter of the science of 

 archeology. This science claims 

 for its own more especially that 

 which is old or ancient in this 

 great field, but in completing its 

 task must traverse the entire 

 record retrieving that which his- 

 tory has lost. The character of 

 the archeological record in its 

 various branches and the rela- 

 tion of these to the whole field 

 of human history are illustrated 

 by diagrams.

 mains of a people quite lost to 

 history and serves especially, 

 through the illustrations, to 

 convey a clear idea of the re- 

 markable advance of the early 

 occupants of Middle America
