[Outside of its controversial aspect, a valuable contribution to anthropology. ] 
i, Archeology.— The subject of archeology is a favorite 
among the divisions of anthropology in America. The Smith- 
sonian Institution, conjointly with the National Museum, repre- 
sents the country at large. In Massachusetts the Archeological 
Institute of America, the Peabody Museum, and the American 
Antiquarian Society have all made most valuable contributions 
to archeological knowledge. In New York city the American 
Museum of Natural History is making rich collections. Mr, Terry’s 
fine private cabinet is now on exhibition there. Nothing is pub- 
lished by them as yet. The Philadelphia societies are not idle in 
the matter of archeology, although they have lost an earnest 
worker in Professor Haldeman. The Bureau of Ethnology at 
Washington, under the direction of Major J. W. Powell, while 
engaged more especially in the living problems of humanity, has 
made very exhaustive investigations relative to the Pueblos, The 
Anthropological Society of Washington has published its first 
volume of Transactions, which, although bearing date of 1881, is 
really a part of the work of 1880. , 
Proceeding westward, we find the Western Reserve Society of 
Cleveland, the Cincinnati Society of Natural Iistory, the Madi- 
Sonville Literary and Scientific Society doing excellent work in 
Ohio, The St. Louis Academy of Missouri and the Davenport 
Academy of Iowa are not a whit behind the older societies of the 
East in their zeal and efficiency. In several of the Western 
States, notably Indiana, Wisconsin and Minnesota, the State 
Seological and statistical reports contain much that is valuable in 
archeology. 
Nor is this all; private wealth is lavished upon local museums 
80 indiscriminately, that frauds begin to multiply unpleasantly.
