 were on topics somewhat familiar to our readers. They are 

 all published separately by Judd & Detweiler, and will ap-

 of the freshness of the subject and the great care bestowed

 the Paris Society of Anthropology, some twenty-three years ago 

 (1859). The associations devoted to kindred branches and to
