of fitting up the rooms, etc., which has amountéd to about fifty thousand

lectures, and the museum, all of which are public. There is nothing 
wanting to make the course complete. The museum, which results from 
the union of that of the Society of Anthropology (twelve hundred skulls) 
and that of the laboratory (twenty-three hundred skulls, skeletons of 
individuals belonging to different races and of primates, skulls of mam- 
mals, prehistoric remains, and anthropological instruments), furnishes to 
the student the richest material for study, and to the professor all the 
means of demonstration necessary. We have already mentioned the

Attention has previously been called to an original paper in the 
Smithsonian Report for 1875, by C. C. Abbott, M. D., on the Stone 
Age in New Jersey. The first thing that strikes one in reading the paper 
is the result that may be obtained in an uninviting field by perseverance.
