of New Mexico, beginning at Zuni, then visiting Laguna and 
Acoma, and in turn the villages scattered along the upper Rio- 
Grande and tributar}’ valleys from Isleta to Taos. The primary 
object of this reconnoissance was the identification of the namea 
of certain “ jwovinces,” tribes, and pueblos mentioned by Spanish 
explorers in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries and the col- 
lection of data relating to the ethnology, and especially to the 
kinship systems, of the Pueblos, of which comparatively little 
has hitherto been known. In these investigations Mr Hodge was 
very successful, for except among the Tiwa he was enalded to 
obtain complete records of all the clans, both existing and ex- 
tinct, and from all the tribes (including the Pecos, of whom there 
are but two survivors) much valuable data which will contribute 
to the identification of tribal and village names of Spanish record, 
as well as bearing on their cosmogony, migrations, etc. He also 
succeeded in locating on the Rio Grande the village whence the 
llano people of Tusayan migrated nearl}^ two centuries ago; in 
determining rjuite clearly that the pueblos of Kawaika and Pai- 
yupki at Tusayan were abandoned during the historic period, 
the inhabitants moving to Laguna and Sandia respectively, and 
that de.scent among the Tewa people, at least in Xambe, Santa 
,;..Clara, and Tesuque, is agnatic, while among all other ^meblos 
descent is invariably in the line of the mother. These and many 
otlier problems which in the past have puzzled ethnologists not 
a little Mr Hodge has at last been able to solve.

TJie Ydloustone National Park: Historical and descriptive. Illustrated 
with maps, views, and portraits. By Hiram ^lartin Chittenden, Cap- 
tain, Corps of Engineere, U. S. A. Pp. 397. Cincinnati: The Robert 
Clarke Company. 1895. §1.. 50 net. 
This book comprises three parts, “Historical,” “Description,” and 
“Tiie Future.” The first contains an excellent summary of the early 
trappers’ tales regarding this region, showing, as is well known, that they 
were not unacquainted with its marvels. It recounts the Washburn and 
Hayden expedition.s, the legislation e.stablishing the National Park, and 
the numerous army expeditions which for exploration or pleasure have 
traversed it. . It summarizes also the administration of the park. The 
second part describes rather inadequately the topography, geology, fauna 
and flora of the region, and then, in the ordinary guide-book form, de- 
scribes “a tour of the park.” The third part, which is very brief, only
