satisfying, spurred the pSncely pa
tron of science on to new endeavor
in the prehistoric field. We next
find him at work on a plan to found
in Paris an institute of human
paleontology and visiting in person
the caves being explored under his
auspices in Spain. The first staff
Of the institute included two of the
ablest prehistorians In Europe: the
Able H. Breuil and DR.. H. Obermaier.
Before the beginning of the world
war activities had spread from
France to Spain, England and Ger
many, and a handsome building in
Paris had been nearly completed.
INSTITUTE BEGINS
RESEARCH WORK AGAIN.
With the war over. the Institute
of Human Paleontology is function
ing once more. The director Is
/ Professor Marcellin Boule, who is
likewise editor of that excellent
periodical. L'Anthropologie. The in
stitute was formally opened by
Prince Albert on December 90, 1920,
In the presence of the president of
the French republic. Prince Roland
Bonaparte. the minister of public
| instruction, members of the diplo-
matte corps, and representatives OF
various scientific institutions and

Zeal begets zeal and example re-
produces its own kind. The founda-
| tion established by the Prince of
Monaco and his many benefactions
in the field of prehistoric archeol-
ogy have resulted indirectly in the
| organization of other agencies that
have the one common goal. Two of
these should be mentioned in this
connection. The first is the Spanish
Commission for archaeological and
Prehistoric Investigations founded
in 1912 through the initiative Of the
| Marquis of Cerralbo. The second is
the American Foundation in France
| for prehistoric studies, the first
years work of which will begin on
July 1. 1921, under the directorship
Of the students, under proper. di-
rection. an opportunity to excavate
at the paleolithic site of Ia Quina
| (Charente), to visit the best known
prehistoric stations and museum
collections, and to take advantage
of the various facilities for prehis-
toric study in Paris, not the least
Of which will be the Prince of Mo-
naco's Institute Of Human Paleon-
tology.
