[1799] The first session of the International Congress of Prehistoric [Anthropology and] Archæology was held at Neuchâtel, and its proceedings were printed in the Materiaux pour l’histoire de l’homme. The second session was at Paris; the third at Norwich, England; the fourth at Copenhagen; and there have been others of later years. Cf. A. de Quatrefages’ Rapport sur le progrès de l’anthropologie (Paris, 1868). Quatrefages himself is one of the most distinguished of the French school, and deserves as much as any to rank as the founder of the present French school of anthropologists. Cf. his Hommes fossiles et hommes sauvages (1884). The English reader can most easily get possessed of his view, conservative in some respects, in Eliza A. Youman’s English version of his most popular book, Nat. Hist. of Man (N. Y., 1875).
[1800] Founded in Paris in 1864 by Gabriel de Mortillet, and edited after vol. v. by Eugène Trutat and Emile Cartailhac.
[1801] Cf. C. Rau’s Articles on anthropol. subjects contributed to the Annual Repts. of the Smithson. Inst., 1863-1877 (Smiths. Inst., no. 440; Washington, 1882). The Smithson. Rept., 1880 (Washington, 1881), also contains a bibliography of anthropology by O. T. Mason. A considerable list of books is prefixed to Dr. Gustav Brühl’s Culturvölker des alten Amerika, which is a collection of tracts published at different times (1875-1887) at N. Y., Cincinnati, and St. Louis.
[1802] He had surveyed the condition of the science in 1867 in his introduction to Nilsson’s Stone Age,—Primitive inhabitants of Scandinavia. Cf. also Smithsonian Report, 1862.
[1803] Figuier’s books are nearly all accessible in English. His Human Race and his World before the Deluge cover some parts of the subject.

[1806] A few other references of lesser essays: D. G. Brinton’s Review of the data for the study of the prehistoric chronology of America (Salem, 1887,—from the Proc. Amer. Ass. Adv. Sci., xxxvi.); his Recent European Contributions to the study of Amer. Archæology (Philad. 1883); and his Prehistoric Archæology (Philad., 1886). Seth Sweetzer on prehistoric man in the Am. Antiq.

Gillman’s Ancient men of the Great Lakes (Detroit, 1877).
The principal work on the South American man is Alcède d’Orbigny’s L’Homme Américaine (Paris, 1837). There are some local treatises, like Lucien de Rosny’s Les Antilles: étude d’ethnographie et d’archéologie Americaines (Paris, 1886,—Am. Soc. d’Ethnographie, n. s., ii.), and papers by Nadaillac and others in the Materiaux, etc.
