The object of the exploration was to search for evidence for or against the Central Asiatic origin of early cultures, with especial reference to the hypothesis of a so-called Asiatic Aryan home. The volume of the Reconnaissance Expedition of 1903 contains the results of the separate expeditions of Prof. W. M. Davis, of Harvard University; of Mr. Ellsworth Huntington and of Professor Pumpelly and Mr. R. W. Pumpelly. These results are chiefly: 1. The corroboration and extension of the evidence of an extensive Glacial and post-Glacial inland sea. 2. The independent determination of at least three Glacial and two inter-Glacial phases of the Glacial Period in the Tien Shan and on the Pamir. 3. The observation of a vast number of ruined sites of all ages, some of which were evidently of a very remote age. The two volumes of 1904 treat of the archeological and physiographic results of the Second Expedition, with especial reference to the excavations at Anau and incidentally at Merv. The following reports are presented: Ancient Anau and the Oasis-World, and General Discussion of Results. By Raphael Archeological Excavations in Anau and Old Merv.

By Langdon Warner. 18 pp. In the expedition of 1904 two sites on the Oasis of Anau were excavated, exposing four successive civilizations-Anau I, II, III, IV, extending with breaks from 8000 B. C. to the beginning of our era, and aggregating over 130 feet of culture strata and a later city of the period of known history. The archeologist, Dr. Hubert Schmidt, of the Royal Museum für Völkerkunde of Berlin, describes the excavations and gives a critical description of the successive potteries and other finds. Prof. J. Ulrich Duerst, of the University of Berne, gives an extended comparative anatomical study of the abundant animal remains, collected foot by foot from the lowest culture strata upward, of the two oldest civilizations. In these he finds the beginning of domestication and the differentiation of breeds and origin of some prehistoric European breeds. He also contributes a chapter on the desert horse of Anau in its relation to the varieties of domestic horses. In the opening chapters of Volume I (1904) Professor Pumpelly, after tracing the evolution of the environment that conditioned the prehistoric civilizations of Anau, reviews the characteristics of the civilization and analyzes the results of his own and his collaborators' investigations. By physiographic methods there were obtained, through shafts in the oasis formation, a determination of the rate of alluvial growth relatively to that of the accumulation of the débris of civilization and evidence of three climatic cycles, paralleling the cultures, as well as their relation to the rise and fall of these. The rate of accumulation of débris of civilization is found subject to a fixed law, and the stratigraphic rate is converted into a time scale which is confirmed by the author's study of datable Egyptian village mounds. Thus, and partly from internal evidence, is obtained the dating of the beginning of the cultures Anau I, II, III, IV (8000, 6000, 5000, 4000 B. C.) and 3000 to 4000 years as the duration of a climatic cycle. The civilizations Anau I, II, were wholly Central Asian; the people isolated from Europe and Africa at least since an interGlacial period, by the inland sea of the Glacial epoch, were forced by increasing aridity on to the oases and to the evolution of agriculture. Toward the end of Anau III (5000 to 3000 B. C.) appears external (Chaldean) influence and culture. Anau I and II had slight knowledge of copper. Anau III covers the developed copper age but ends before the use of bronze. There was a long gap between copper culture (III) and iron (IV). The climatic reaction following the Glacial period began the evolution of organized civilization. Domestic animals and elements of agriculture of dolichocephalic Anau-li were brought to Europe in the late stone age by brachycephalic Asiatic immigrants. The relation of Anau cultures I and II to early Babylonia and Susa are discussed. No. 53. MÜLLER, W. MAX. Egyptological Researches. Vol. 1. Results of a Journey in 1904. Quarto, 62 pages, 106 plates. Published Vol. 2. Results of a Journey in 1906. Quarto, v+188 pages, 47 plates, 68 text Vol. 3. The Bilingual Decrees of Philæ. Quarto. In press. Volume 1 records the results of an expedition by the author in 1904, having as its object a study of the monuments recording the relations of ancient Egypt to foreign countries, especially to Asia and Europe-monuments which are mostly direct contributions to Biblical studies and in many ways elucidate the history of the whole world. Professor Müller sought especially to secure final, or at least better. copies of the most important "known" texts rather than to obtain "new" material. Volume 2 is a continuation of the above, referring to researches in 1906. Its principal aim is the reproduction and explanation of pictures on which the Ancient Egyptians represented foreign nations coming into contact with them by wars, legations, etc. These remarkably faithful representations (e.g. those of ambassadors from prehellenic Greece) are of great interest especially for historians and anthropologists. Volume 3 gives the results of a visit to the island of Philæ in 1910, when the author studied the epigraphic material left by the Berlin expedition. The hieroglyphic text is presented almost completely, a few remaining uncertainties being indicated. The demotic texts, owing to the difficult script, leave more uncertainty, but the author believes that the most important historic treasures have been preserved. The author discusses thoroughly the questions involved in these researches, and the book is illustrated by 40 plates. No. 100. WARD, WILLIAM HAYES. The Seal Cylinders of Western Asia. Quarto, These seal cylinders were of the size of a large or small spool, purely cylindrical or with the surface concave and in the latest Persian period convex and barrelshaped. In the earliest period they were made of the central hard core of a conch shell from the Persian Gulf; afterwards of serpentine or lapis-lazuli; then hard stones, quartz crystal, chalcedony, or carnelian. Every owner of property had to have one of the cylinders. The engravings on them were usually figures of the gods worshiped by the owners, or scenes of agriculture, war, or the chase. Later the owner's name would be added in cuneiform characters, with the name of his father and that of his favorite god. This work opens with an introduction describing the materials, the tools, the uses of the cylinders, and the principles of classification, 14 ་ and it closes with a discussion of religions and sacrifices, lists with figures of the gods and their symbols, and a conclusion as to the source of the earliest culture, which seems to have been in Elam, just east of Babylonia, on the Persian Gulf. The main body of the work is devoted to the study of these seals as classified by nationality, period, and subject. Almost every page has several illustrations, so that the student of history, civilization, and art has here a body of material and conclusions not hitherto accessible to scholars. The present volume consists of about 450 quarto pages with over 1,500 drawings, and may be described as an investigation of the earliest art of Babylonia and its later ramifications, showing the sources of that stream of culture which finally overflowed in Greek art and civilization. From that period of perhaps 4000 B. C., long before the use of iron, if not before that of bronze, the course of art and culture and religion is followed as it spreads over Persia on the east and as far as the Mediterranean Sea and Cyprus on the west, including Assyria, the Hittite Empire of Asia Minor, Syria, and Phoenicia. Thus the investigation reaches down to about 600 B. C., when the seal cylinder gave way to seals of other sorts, owing to the growing disuse of clay tablets for writing and the substitution of the simpler cone seal and scaraboid in place of the cylinder. No. 108. VAN DEMAN, ESTHER B. The Atrium Vesta. Octavo, XII+47 pages, 17 plates. Published 1909. Price $1.50. This is a careful study of one of the many interesting problems which arise in the study of Roman topography and Roman architecture. The magnificent House of the Vestals was not the work of one period, but was enlarged and beautified during successive epochs, the later builders doing their work in such a way as to fit it, as far as possible, into that of their predecessors, thus producing the impression of a uniform structure. In this monograph the House of the Vestals is considered not as an isolated problem, but in connection with a thorough study of Roman brickwork, and the author has reconstructed the history of the building for the first and second centuries, A.

The Maya Inscriptions. The Inscriptions of Copan, Honduras. Quarto, 34 plates. In press. This volume deals with the hieroglyphic inscriptions of the ancient Maya civilization of southern Mexico and northern Central America, and is especially devoted to a consideration of the inscriptions of Copan, Honduras, one of the largest and oldest centers of the Old Empire. This city flourished during the first five centuries of the Christian Era and is particularly noteworthy for the large number of its hieroglyphic monuments. The texts are presented upon a variety of media: stelæ, altars, door-jambs, façades, steps, and stairways. They vary in length from 2 glyphs to over 2,000. In fact the longest inscription in the Maya writing is found here-the Hieroglyphic Stairway on the western slope of Mound 26, which contains upwards of 2,500 glyphs. Of the 81 texts under observation, which include all now known, 22 were found to belong to The Archaic Period (i. e., from the earliest times down to 9.10.0.0.0, approximately to 360 A. D.); 17 to The Middle Period (i. e., from 9.10.0.0.0 to 9.15.0.0.0, approximately 360 to 460 A. D.); and 42 to The Great Period (i. e., from 9.15.0.0.0 to 10.2.0.0.0, approximately 460 to 600 A. D.). There are many drawings and photographs of heretofore unknown or undescribed inscriptions, and these include a large amount of "new material" here made accessible to students of the Maya hieroglyphic writing for the first time. The work closes with a number of appendices, including lists of the monuments upon which the investigation was based, arranged according to their chronological sequence; lists of all known contemporaneous monuments from other sites; correlation tables; distribution maps and diagrams and a complete bibliography of the site. In short, this monograph presents an exhaustive study of the Copan inscriptions based upon a first-hand examination of the originals. No. 255. CHURCHILL, WILLIAM. Club Types of Nuclear Polynesia. Octavo, v+173 pages, 17 plates, 3 figs. Published 1917. Price $2.50. This monograph is based on the collection of South Sea ethnica in the museum of the University of Pennsylvania. In addition to the intensive study of all the specimens, dimensions, decorations, and form, the author has established in groups on the structural base the several types of war clubs which until the present era of enlightenment played so large a part in the life as well as in the death of the peoples of Nuclear Polynesia. In connection therewith he has presented a theory as to the evolution in wood of metamorphs of earlier stone weapons which will suggest other lines of investigation of the rearward track of the great migrations of the Polynesian race. The metrology of the clubwrights and the methods of design are likewise discussed at length. No. 268. HYDE, WALTER W. Olympic Victor Monuments. Octavo.

This paper endeavors by means of published correspondence, especially the Dropmore Papers, to answer the important question how far the foreign policy of England during the prime ministry of William Pitt the younger, and especially during the period when his cousin Lord Grenville was Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, was devised and controlled by Pitt, and how far his management of foreign affairs during that critical period was influenced by Grenville.

The first historical enterprise of the Carnegie Institution was the making of an inventory, more largely from an historical than from an administrative point of view, of the governmental archives in Washington. The need of such an inventory was peculiarly pressing on account of the want of concentration of archive material in our national capital. Far from having effected such concentration as has been brought about by the English government in its Public Record Office, our practice has been, except in the case of the War Department, to leave the custody and arrangement of the papers of each subdivision of a department to its administrative chief, so that the archives of the government consist of at least a hundred separate deposits, classified and managed in different ways and in different places.

Inventory of Unpublished Material for American Religious History in Protestant Church Archives and Other Repositories. Octavo, vII+254 pages. Published 1911. Price $1.50. American religious history, if dealt with not in a denominational spirit but on broad lines, is quite as important a part of the historian's concern as any other aspect of the social history of the United States. Of the unprinted material for it, however, a large part has escaped the knowledge of workers because of being kept in denominational or local repositories which have not had the same means of making their treasures widely known as are possessed by governmental establishments and public libraries. Therefore Mr. Allison was commissioned to make a personal examination of the manuscript materials for American religious history in the acces |
