1. Mr. Forte's brief note refers to the discovery of an ancient 

 cave workshop for the manufacture of Carib shell chisels. 



2. The paper of Miss Buckland is a pleasant review of Dr. 

 Broca's book on Prehistoric trepanning and cranial amulets. 



4. In a former communication Mr. Wake had held the Mala- 

 gasy to be autochthonous. The object of the present writing is 

 to correct this notion and to prove that the origin of this race 

 was from the region inhabited by the Siamese and cognate 



5. The term Gouch-os, so often seen in books on S. America, 

 is not a race name, but implies rather a certain mode of life, and 

 at San Jorge is given to negroes, Brazilians, pure Spaniards, and 

 even to northern Europeans. The paper of Mr. Christison is one 

 of absorbing interest. 



6. Mr. Peal essays to connect the pile structures of India with 

 the Swiss lake dwellings. 



7. The Naga hills are south-east of Assam, dividing that pro- 

 vince from Burma, between 25 and 28 north, and 93 and 97 

 east. The frequent conflicts of these people with the British 

 army in the east, afforded the officers in Her Majesty's army the 

 opportunity of studying their sociology. 



8. By " monumental heads " is meant artificial deformation 

 practiced upon the heads of children at a very early age, by 

 means of circular constriction. Professor Flower takes advantage 

 of a recent collection by Mr. Boyd to bring together the history 

 of this practice in the New Hebrides, a custom not met with in 

 any other islands of the Pacific. 



12. The instrument of Mr. Atkinson was invented to measure 

 the angle formed between the ophryo-alveolar line and the plane 

 of the visual axis, so much insisted on by Broca. 



13- In a paper extending over sixty pages of the journal, 

 Mr. Gooch, from a large personal experience and by the aid of 

 local colaborers, minutely describes the types, distribution, geo- 

 logical horizon and material of the stone implements of South 

 Africa. American archaeologists cannot afford to miss this 

 paper. 



14. The only noteworthy utterance for us in Professor Flower's 

 address, is the much-to-be-regretted fact that the Anthropologi- 

 cal Institute is far from flourishing. 



Necrology.— It is with profound sorrow that we record the 

 death of Professor Carl Engelhardt, late secretary of the Society
