696 General Notes. [ October, 
ANTHROPOLOGY. ' 
ANTHROPOLOGICAL News.—The American Association for the 
Advancement of Science, meeting this year in the very heart of 
our antiquarian region, was favored with many valuable papers. 
The character of these communications is improving from year 
to year, and less of wild speculation characterizes the discussions. 
To facilitate interchange among students, we append a list of 
papers with the addresses of the authors:

nois, J. G. Henderson, Winchester, Ill.; Ancient Names, Geo 
graphical, Tribal and Personal, in the Mississippi valley: same

-~ American Association is the proper meeting for our American 
peat alate ae" to patronize, not to the disparagement of local 
- d State societies, but as a supplementary means of better 
Bes ica naa among workers in all parts of our country.
