significant than the present condition of archeological studies as contrasted 
with that which obtained a few years ago. Until recently the very name of 
American archeology was noxious because it was foreign to European 
civilisation. To-day the chief archeological interest lies in the prehistoric 
period, and with the realisation of the unity of all problems of human 
development comes a rapidly increasing interest in American archeology. 
Dr. Gordon then reviewed the work of the various universities and museums, 
and paid a tribute to the services rendered by private individuals, both in

contiguous divisions of the same stock was discussed. The material and 
social culture is also similar to that of the other divisions. 
From the evidence of culture and language it seems clear that the rivers 
and bays of the North Pacific slope were not the home of the stock before 
its division into its present linguistic groupings, and the evidence of lan- 
guage points to a connection with Oceanic stocks.
