Bureau of American Ethnology, Washing- 
ton, D. C., gave, at the State University of 
Iowa, a course of eleven lectures in general 
anthropology to large audiences. Such a 
beginning augurs well for the future 
growth and development of a recognized 
branch of instruction. 
Instruction in anthropology at the Ohio 
State University may be said to have a be- 
ginning in the work being done by Mr. W. 
C. Mills, Curator of the Ohio Archeological- 
Historical Society. 
In the death of Professor Daniel G. Brin- 
ton, both the University of Pennsylvania 
and the Philadelphia Academy of Natural 
Sciences have lost a valued teacher of the 
anthropological sciences. No one has yet 
been appointed to take his place. 
In order to reduce the above information 
concerning extent of instruction in anthro- 
pology to a more compact form, use is made 
of the following table. 
Of the forty-eight institutions in the 
thirteen countries giving a place to anthro- 
pology in their curricula, eleven are located 
in the United States ; and of the total teach- 
ing force of seventy-four, our own country 
is credited with seventeen. Butin the matter
