(5) Kelations between the civilizations of Hallstadt and other stations 

 in Daubes and those of Mycense, Tirhyns, Issarlik, and the Caucasus. 



(6) Critical examination of crania and other human bones alleged 

 to have been found in the quaternary during the last fifteen years. 

 Ethnic elements peculiar to the different ages of stone, bronze, and 

 iron in central and western Europe. 



(7) Ethnographic survivals which throw light upon the social con- 

 dition of primitive populations in central and western Europe. 



(8) How far do archoeologic or ethnographic analogies authorize the 

 hypothesis of prehistoric consanguinity or of migrations? 



The thoroughness of this work may be imagined from the following 

 list of guides and lecturers : 



Jardin des Plantes, MM. Quatrefages, Gaudry, and Hamy ; Palais 

 de Justice, M. Alphonse Bertillon ; Laboratoire dAnthropologie, MM. 

 Manouvrier and Chudzinski ; Musee St. Germain, MM. Bertrand Mor- 

 tillet, Beinach; Chellian Collection, M. d'Acy: Collections in the Ex- 

 position, MM. Topinard, Cartailhac, Piette, Valdemar Schmidt, Marquis 

 de Nadaillac. 



Besides the anthropological exhibits in the Palais de l'Industrie, much 

 material relating to our special subject was to be seen in the colonial and 

 foreign pavilions, such as those of Finland, Mexico, Ecuador, Nicaragua, 

 Venezuela, Colombia, Hawaii, Portugal, New Guinea, Transvaal, Al- 

 geria, Tunis, Anam and Tonkin, French India, Tahiti and French 

 Oceanica, New Caledonia, Guiana, Senegal, Gabon, Congo, Guadeloupe 

 (Guesde), Cambodia, Cochin China, and Java. 



A portion of the space near the Invalides was set apart for the exhi- 

 bition of African and Franco-Indian natives at their characteristic oc- 

 cupations, chief among the popular attractions of which were the Jav- 

 anese theater and the Annamite Buddhist temple. The members of 

 the Congress, guided by the local committee, spent many hours in these 

 savage inclosures and houses, studying the people and their arts, and 

 listening to their rude music. 



Under such favorable auspices met the Ninth Congress of Anthro- 

 pology and Prehistoric Archaeology. It will be long before such won- 

 derful advantages are again brought together for studying the natural 

 history of man. 



The previous congresses have been as follows : 



1. Neufchatel, 1866. 6. Brussels, 1872. 



2. Paris, 1867. 7. Stockholm, 1874. 



3. Norwich, 1868. 8. Buda Pesth, 1876. 



4. Copenhagen, 1869. 9. Lisbon, 1880. 



5. Bologna, 1871. 



From Paris my journey was to Cologne, where I visited the museum. 

 I was greatly impressed in all German and French cities and towns 

 with the care taken of the local museums. This spirit should be fostered 

 in every way in our own country. .
