Mr. F. W. Hodge's dedication of this volume is

"Dear Mr. Holmes: ? 
"Because you wear "the rose of youth" upon 
you, we need not accept literally in your case 
the song of the Psalmist that "the days of our 
years are three-score years and ten," for we, 
your friends and colaborers in the field of 
Anthropology, are inclined to feel that you have 
found the Fountain of Youth from which flow the 
streams of inspiration and joy so manifest in 
your daily work. 
"This volume, therefore, must not be re- 
garded as merely commemorative of the day on 
which you achieve a seventieth milestone in 
your journey of life. It is rather an epitome «* 
of the influence you have exerted on others 
through the passing years, a testimonial of your 
masterly lenders in both Science and Art. You 
are Still at the height of your remarkable acti- 
vity. At no time in your career have you done.
