Anthropological Notes. — In the American Anthropologist for July, 
Dr. J. Walter Fewkes describes the Alósaka cult of the Hopi Indians. 
His conclusions are, in part, as follows: * There survives in the 
Hopi Ritual a worship of horned beings, called Alósakas, which once 
existed at the now ruined pueblo of Awatobi.” “The purpose of 
the rites performed in this cult is to cause seeds, especially corn, to 
germinate and grow, and to bring rain to water the farms." “The 
Alósaka cult is a highly modified form of animal totemism, and the 
Alósaka represents the mountain sheep." 
Professor A. C. Haddon publishes an account of the Cambridge 
Anthropological Expedition to Torres Strait and Sarawak in Nature 
of August 31. It is stated that the scientific results obtained by 
the seven members of the party will be published in a series of 
memoirs which will be obtainable separately. Dr. Rivers and 
Messrs. Myers, McDougall, and Seligmann will write the volume on 
experimental psychology; Mr. Ray is said to have ample matter for 
a volume on linguistics. Professor Haddon will deal with the phys- 
ical anthropology of the natives of Torres Strait and New Guinea. 
Music, religion, medicine, statistics, architecture, etc., will be treated 
by the several members of the party. A large number of excellent 
photographs were taken. : 
An illustrated article appeared in the July number of Monumental 
Records, in which Mr. Geo. H. Pepper described the ceremonial 
deposits found in an ancient pueblo estufa at the Pueblo Bonito in 
the Chaco Cafion. The Hyde Expedition, of which Mr. Pepper is the 
director, has worked several seasons at that extensive group of ruins, 
and the explorations are to be continued. The discovery of ceremo- 
nial objects is said to be the first reported from any pueblo ruin. 
In the September-October number of the American Antiquarian, 
William P. Blake publishes a brief account of the aboriginal turquoise 
mines of Arizona and New Mexico. He mentions a few of the local- 
ities from which turquoise has been obtained, but refers the reader
