666 General Notes. [August, 
ogy, Ethnology and Prehistory, edited by Rud. Virchow. We 
infer that the society holds monthly meetings, since a separate 
pamphlet is devoted to each meeting, as follows: Feb. 21, March 
20, April 17, May 22, June 12, June 19, July 17, Oct. 16. The 
greater portion of the papers are on home topics, but a few relate 
to America: 
The preparation of arrow-poison by the Pai-Ute Indians of Nevada, by Dr. Weg. 
Hoffinan, ; 
Precolumbian Syphilis in America, p. 225. 
Stone Implements from Yucatan, p. 237.

tions to our knowledge: 
Casi di anomalie numeriche delle vertebre nell uomo, by Dr. E, Regalia. 
Ulteriori notizie intorno ai Negriti, by Professor Enrico Hillyer Giglioli. , 
These original papers are followed by reviews of Beccari s 
“ Guide to the Mussulman pilgrimages and the Suez canal,” Ra- 
mon Lista’s “ Los Charruas,” Giovanni Pelleschi’s ‘“ Republica Ar- 
gentina,” Ricardi’s “ L’Attenzione in rapporto alla pedagogia, 
Nicolosi-Tirrizzi’s “ Teschio umano Scafo-ultra-dolicacefalo- Ortop: 
nato,” Canestrini’s “Anomaly of the Trentini cranium, and 
Moschen’s “ Studies in the cephalic and the nasal index.” The 
journal is the official organ of the Italian Society of Anthro- 
pology, Ethnology and Compartive Psychology, and therefore, 
each number contains the minutes for one quarter. ‘

Antiquarian, Vol. 111, contains the following papers :

Poutico-SoctaL Funcrions.—Science approaches man fr ek 
many sides. While the physician directs his attacks against oe
