1876.) Anthropology. 693 
The contents of Nos. 6 and 7 of Matériaux are very nicely distrib- 
uted over the countries ‘of Europe in which archæological investigations 
aein progress. Vladimir de Mainoff contributes an article upon the 
Kourganes (tumuli) of Little Russia. ‘These structures are the burial- 
mounds of the Severianes, in the transition period between the bronze 
and the iron age. Some of them contain burials by inhumation, others 
by incineration. In each of the two kinds of Kourganes there is a 
gradation of the form of interment. 
Scandinavia has an unusual share of space devoted to the following 
themes: the State Museum of History, the history of Swedish archæ- 
ological researches ; the age of bronze in Northern Sweden; the antiq- 
uties of Bohnslaen, and, finally, three very instructive sketches upon 
Finnish antiquities and history. 
With reference to France, we have a continuation of the discussion 
between Abbé Maillard and M. Mortillet upon the stratigraphical rela- 
tion between the Solutrian and the Moustierian Age, an account oO 
Prehistoric monuments in different districts of France, and a very valu- 
able table of the number of stations, grottoes, and dolmens in each of 
the departments. 
The review of Italy embraces papers relative to archzological matters 
purely. The only article relative to extra-European matters is an ac- 
count of a prehistoric atelier at Hassi-el M’ Kaddem, eight kilometres 
ftom the oases of Ouargla. Among the articles discovered were arrow- 
heads, beads, and pottery. 
Richard Andree contributes to the Austrian Mittheilungen for Febru- 
ay, 1876, an article upon lucky days, lucky meetings, and augury in the 
; history of culture.
