The William H. Holmes Memorial Volume 
MERICAN anthropologists have expressed their appreciation of the long and 
A valued service of Professor William H. Holmes to American Archaeology by 
publishing and presenting to him a beautiful volume of Anthropological Essays 
on the occasion of his seventieth birthday, December ist. This volume, which is 
a royal octavo of 507 pages, embellished with 136 typogravure plates and a 
| frontispiece portrait in photogravure, is issued in an edition of 200 copies and is 
indeed a model of excellence in every way. The contributions consist of 44 articles 
_ pertaining chiefly to American archaeology and ethnology, together with a bibli- 
| ography of Professor Holmes’ published writings, comprising 184 titles. The 
expense of publication was borne by friends and colaborers, and the articles were 
written especially for the book. We have not the space to summarize the contents 
or even to list the series of papers which make up this noteworthy and valuable 
anniversary volume, but those pertaining directly to the subjects of art and 
archaeology are as follows: Representative Art of Primitive People, by Franz
