The Archaeological Institute of AMERiCA.-^The third 

 annual report of the executive committee has just issued from the 

 Cambridge University press. With the customary report of 

 activities and finances we have nothing to do, and pass to notice 

 the contributions to archaeological knowledge or materials. The 

 Institute has two different departments of labor, differing very 

 widely in character, the American and the Classical. In the for- 

 mer, Mr. Bandelier, having spent four months at Cholula, Mex., 

 has prepared a report, now in press, a brief of which is given in 

 the volume before us. The careful examination of the pyramid 

 of Cholula has led Mr. Bandelier to conclusions of the weightiest 

 importance. A subsequent visit to Atilla enabled the explorer to 

 obtain accurate plans of the buildings and to draw some conclu- 

 sions as to their functions. Mr. Bandelier subsequently returned 

 to the Pueblos of New Mexico, where he has been prosecuting 

 the work begun two years ago. Mr. Ayme, our consul at 

 Merida. has also been engaged to make explorations in Yucatan. 



In the second, or old world department of the Institutes 

 labors, encouraging progress has been made at Assos, by Mr. 

 Clarke and Mr. Bacon, a full account of which will be found in 

 the first of the classical series of the institute. 



The labors of the institute are prosecuted through the means 

 derived from the fees and the generosity of the members. The 

 secretary is Mr. Edward H. Greenleaf, of Boston, who will cheer- 

 tolly respond to all inquiries relating to the subject.
