a doubt, of Quechuan stock, a considerable extension of Incasic influence. Quechuan traces exist also in the Calchaqui.

Guayaqui. In the "Revue du Musée de La Plata" (vol. viii. 1898, pp. 453–459), F. Lahille writes about "Guayaquis y Anamitas." The Guayaquis are a very wild tribe dwelling near the middle Parana.

Peru. To the "Medical Magazine" (vol. vii. pp. 636–642), of London, G. Sharp contributes a brief paper on "The Civilization, Institutions, and Medicine of the Ancient Peruvians, period about 1528 A.D.—Dr. Geo. A. Dorsey's "Bibliography of the Anthropology of Peru" (Chicago, January, 1898, pp. 55–206), which appears as Publication 23, Anthropological Series, vol. ii. No. 2, of the Field Columbian Museum, contains many titles of interest to the folklorist.

Querandies. Under the title "Etnografía Argentina. Segunda Contribución al Estudio de los Indios Querandíes" (Buenos Aires, 1898, 60 pp. 8°), Felix F. Ontes makes a second contribution (the first appeared in 1897,—"Los Querandíes Contribución al Estudio de la Etnografía Argentina") to the study of the Querandies Indians, who formerly dwelt on the right bank of the La Plata, near the present site of Buenos Aires. Ontes makes them out to be of Guaycuru stock; Brinton considers them Aucanian.

Archæology. Prof. Cyrus Thomas's "Introduction to the Study of North American Archæology" (Cincinnati, xiv. 391 pp. 8°) contains much that is of interest to the student of folk-lore, in respect to history, culture, etc.

Art. Prof. Thomas Wilson's "Prehistoric Art," which takes up pages 325–664 of the "Report of the U. S. National Museum for 1896," contains, besides general information as to the art of prehistoric man in Europe, notes on art in stone, sculpture, pottery, copper, gold, and silver work in America, with many plates and illustrations.

Ethnography. In his account of "The Indian Congress at Omaha" in the fall of 1898, which Mr. James Mooney contributes to the "American Anthropologist" (N. S. vol. i. pp. 126–149), are contained notes on various Algonkian, Athapascan, Caddoan, Salishan, Siouan, Tañoan, Tonkawan, and Yuman Indians, together
