ANTHROPOLOGY IN ITALy.—In the second fasciculus of the tenth 
volume of “Archivio per |’Antropologia e la Etnologia,” we have 
the following original papers: Studii Antropologici sui Lapponi, 
by Paolo Mantegazza and Stephen Sommier; Materiali per 
l’Etnologia Italiana, Riassunti e commentali, by Dr. E. Raseri; 
Appunti sulla Etnologia del Madagascar, by Prof. Arturo Zan- 
netti; Il Processo Paroccipitale e la Pars Mastoidea del tempo- 
rale dei Mammiferi nell’Uomo, by Dr. Guiseppe Amadei. The 
first named paper is illustrated with ten very finely executed 
photographic plates. ~ 
ARCHIV FUR ANTHROPOLOGIE.—The twelfth volume of this 
notable Journal closes with the number for August, 1880, The 
leading communications bear the following titles: Ueber die 
Berechnung des Schadelindex aus Messungen an lebenden Men-_ 
schen, by Dr. Ludwig Stieda; Die Metallarbeiten von Mykena 
und ihre Bedeutung fiir die allgemeine Geschichte der Metallin- 
dustrie, by Christian Hostmann, in Celle ; Zur Hohenmessung des 
Schadels, by Dr. J. Geldmeister; Bemerkungen iiber die Squama 
Ossis occipitis mit besonderer Beriicksichtigung des “ Torus occi- 
pitalis,’ by W. Waldeyer, Table 1x, Figs. 1, 2; Der Trochanter 
tertius des Menschen nebst Bemerkungen zur Anatomie des Os 
femoris, by W. Waldeyer; Ueber Timur’s (Tamerlans) Nabstein 
aus Nephrit, by H. Fischer. Under the subject of reviews, we 
have some most valuable contributions to anthropological litera- 
ture, to wit: Berichte aus der russischer Literatur iber Anthro- 
pologie, Ethnographie, und Archaologie fiir das Jahr 1878, by Dr. 
Ludwig Stieda, of Dorpat. This is a continuation and the close 
of a communication from page 382 of the Archiv. It is exceedingly 
valuable, containing thirty-eight pages of closely printed matter, 
embracing titles of works in full with brief summaries of their 
contents. This paper is followed by a similar one upon Scandi- 
navian anthropological literature, by Miss J. Mestorf, including 
much longer reviews upon publications in Denmark, Sweden and 
Norway, The crowning glory of the number, however, is a cata- 
logue of recent anthropological literature, mostly in 1878 and 
1879, by H. Miller, covering one hundred and fifty-three closely 
printed pages, and in many instances giving brief, pithy digests of 
the contents of the work. Such lists are valuable in a double 
sense. They enable specialists to find out what is being written 
on their favorite theme, but, better still, they give an ensemble of 
the Scope and minutize of our science. Said a distinguished 
physicist to the editor of these Notes, upon reading over the list 
of titles published in the Naruratist, “I really had no concep- 
tion before of the rapid strides which this last of the sciences has 
been making.”
