In the above discovery we have at least clear and indisputable traces 
of the men whom up to now we have known almost entirely by their 
tools. A fewdisjointed bones not free from suspicion are now fortified 
by evidences that cannot be gainsaid, and the old Canstadt or Nean- 
derthal race stands before us as an extinct but real ancestor.—American 
Geologist, Sept., 1891. 
M. Max Lohest made several visits to the Department of Prehistoric 
Anthropology during the International Geological Congress, and we 
had much pleasure in renewing acquaintance formed years ago. I had 
visited the Grotte de Spy along with the other Belgian prehistoric 
caverns, and was acquainted with his work. He had a full display of 
objects from these caverns at the French exposition, and read a paper 
before the International Congress of Anthropology and Prehistoric 
Archeology. 
Not the least interesting episode of the geologic congress were the 
visits of Professor Gaudry and Marcellin Boule to the Department of 
Prehistoric Anthropology. They are both, like M. Lohest, much 
interested in the antiquity of man, and many things shown them ill 
appreciated by the American public were regarded by them with 
intense eagerness and interest. 
Continuation and Close of Proceedings of American Asso-

‘day was the last and most attractive day of the meeting. It opened 
with a most interesting paper by Mr. Frank H. Cushing upon the out- 
lines of Zufii creation and migration myths in their relation to the 
Ka-Ka and other dramas or dances. It was carefully written, well 
delivered, and was a valuable contribution to the history of these 
Indians. The illustrations displayed were elegant, and as the paper will 
be published in due course, it is deemed wise not attempt a description. 
Mr. James Mooney gave an impromptu and extemporaneous descrip- 
tion of the Messiah religion and the ghost dance. Mr. Mooney 
spent some months among the Apache and Kiowa Indians, and. had 
just returned with his trunk full of Indian relics and his head full of 
Indian stories, myths, and traditions. He had witnessed the ghost dance 
many times, and had innumerable photographs illustrative thereof. He 
did not attempt to read a paper. He talked, acted, anddanced. He 
roused his audience to a pitch of enthusiasm rarely seen in a scientific
