The Smithsonian Institution has long had the intention of pub- 
lishing an exhaustive work upon North American archeology, 
accompanied by maps, exhibiting by signs and colors the site and 
character of all archeological remains. To this end a circular 
has been issued and the Institution calls upon all lovers of Ameri- 
can antiquities to lend a helping hand, which the readers of the 
NATURALIST, doubtless, will not be backward in doing.
