 Otis T. Mason. The human beast of burden. 



Report of the Smithsonian Institution, II, 1887, pp. 237-295. 



This paper calls attention to the beginning of the great industry which now covers the earth 

 with beasts of burden, canals, ships, and railroads. Attention is also drawn to the fact 

 that civilization has not relieved the weights from human backs but rather augmented 

 them. 

 Otis T. Mason. The mutual obligation of the ethnologist and the historiau. 

 Papers of the American Historical Association, IV, pp. 5-12. 



The paper dwells on the proposition that the history of mankind is written in things as well 

 as in words, and that the student of things and the student of words should mutually 

 prove each other's work. 

 Otis T. Mason. The savage's side arms. 

 The American Anthropologist, n, pp. 77,78.

 The American Anthropologist, XI, pp. 3-13. 



This paper shows that Mr. Spencer's division of civilization in time into militancy and indus- 

 trialism is quite as much a sex division, the industrial pursuits of mankind originating 

 with women in savagery.

Report of the Smithsonian Institution, 1886 (1889), II, pp. 277-648. PI. i-ix ; 14 text figures. 

 Although designed as a hand-book for the collection, it has been made to cover a more ex- 

 tended field than indicated by its title. The aim has been to bring together in one 

 volume as much valuable matter bearing upon the subject as the space would permit, 

 and to put it in such form as to be available for popular use. The work as above noted 

 comprises some 370 pages ; there are also nine full-page plates and fourteen figures in the 

 text.
