In the variety Of Its contributions but is especially
strong In the direction of education, In this field
1t is doing most important public work Its edu'
catlonal papers being abler and more advanced
In their treatment OF principles than those con-

instructive popular lesson in archaeology, 1t gives
an interesting account of these ancient aud curl
Gus stone structures and their supposed uses with
many original Illustrations. One Of the freshest
and most telling papers that we have read in

ablest assaults upon that doctrine appear in its

all biologists. Perrier is young French Acade'
