 early Christian period of France down to the tenth century. 



Musee Oluny, devoted to Mediaeval France.

 Museum, and that of Copenhagen. 



Musee Carnavalet, devoted to the history of Paris. 



Musee Guimet, devoted to the history of religion. 



Musee du Louvre, devoted to classic art and archaeology, painting, 

 ceramics, metallurgy, and art decorations in precious materials. 



Musee d'Artillerie, arms and armor. 



Conservatoire des Arts et Metiers, repository of all that relates to 

 machinery and human industry. 



Conservatoire de Musique, in which the musical apparatus of the 

 world is displayed. 



The Jardin des Plantes, presided over by M. de Quatrefages, the 

 Nestor of French scientists, affords the best opportunity of studying the 

 comparative anatomy of man and his relations to geological history. 

 Here are to be seen celebrated crania, the Naulette jaw, and skeletons 

 of the extinct mammals found associated with human remains, and all 

 that concerns human technique in vegetal substances. The result of 

 the work of M. Gaudry among the Tertiary mammals is here displayed. 



In a separate building in the Latin quarter are the Mus6e Broca, the 

 Laboratoire d'Anthropologie, the Ecole d' Anthropologic, and the Societe" 

 d' Anthropologic. The first three constitute the Institut d'Anthropo- 

 logie. (La Societe, l'lilcole et le Laboratoire d'Anthropologie de Paris 

 a l'Exposition Universelle de 1889, Paris — Imprim. Beuuies.) 



The vast collections of literature amassed by Broca, by the Socie'te' 

 d'Anthropologie and in connection with the Institut d'Anthropologie, are 

 united in a single library of great value in the hall of the Societe d'An- 

 thropologie. In all the museums above enumerated are excellent libra- 

 ries of books and portfolios, and guide-books germane to their respect- 

 ive collections.* There is no better place to study the entire body of 

 literature relating to the natural history of man than in the Bibliotheque 

 Nationale. The publishing-houses of Masson pour forth a constant 

 stream of new books upon the same subject, and even upon the bridges 

 of Paris one may provide himself, at moderate cost, with an excellent 

 collection of rare and useful books relating to man. 



The Exposition and the Congresses may be mentioned in conjunction. 

 A detailed statement in regard to them will be deferred until after the 

 account of the perpetual resources of Paris, because to the eye of the 



* The publications are : Bulletins de la Societ6 d'Anthropologie de Paris ; L' An- 

 thropologic, founded in 1889 by the union of Materiaux, Revue d'Anthropologie, and 

 Revue d'Ethnographie ; Annales du Mus6e Guimet; Revue de l'Histoire des Relig-
