758 General Notes. [ November, 
“Celtic” or “Cimbric” of Prof. Rollesten. The truth of this 
view is confirmed by the fact that the dead of these two races 
rest peacefully together in the round barrows of the wolds refer- 
able to the early bronze age. 
“In concluding this review it remains merely to say that this 
valuable work fills a void in the archeological record of Great 
Britain, and it contains a larger mass of accurately observed facts 
than any book hitherto published relating to the bronze age in 
this country.” 
Rev. Stephen Bowers, Ph.D., is continuing his explorations in 
Southern California this summer, with head-quarters at Santa 
Barbara. His researches fully sustain Mr. Stephen Powers’ esti- 
mate of the vast number of aborigines once inhabiting the 
Pacific coast. Between Point Rincon and Point Conception, a 
distance of seventy miles along the coast, Mr. Bowers has 
explored vexed seventy (70) Pueblos or sites of old Indian towns, 
and about thirty on the Santa Ifiez river. In one burial place on 
this river he obtained 240 fine specimens consisting of mortars 
and pestles of sand-stone ; bowls, pipes and “charms” of serpen- 
tine; ollas and tortilla stones of crystallized talc; spear-points 
Bowers obtained from a single pueblo over 1800 specimens in 
pae: These consisted of bowls and pestles from granite, sand- 
one and serpentine; mano stones used in grinding; balls, 
ana drills, tools, spear-points, arrow-heads, scrapers, etc., from 
chert; sinkers finely wrought from serpentine and talc, etc., etc. 
Dr. Bowers and his wife discovered these antiquities on the main- 
land nearly four years ago, since which they have shipped several 
tons of fine specimens to enrich the National Museum. Mrs. 
Bowers accompanies her husband in all his researches, and is her- 
self an indefatigable collector.
