[1927] Cf. Charles Rau’s Archæological Collections of the United States National Museum (1876) in Smithsonian Contributions, xx., with many illustrative woodcuts; and a paper by Ernest Ingersoll in The Century, January, 1885. Cf. also F. W. Putnam’s contribution on American Archæological Collections in the American Naturalist, vii. 29.
[1928] B. P. Poore’s Descriptive Catal. Govt. Pub., p. 593; Field’s Ind. Bibliog., no. 1379; Allibone’s Dictionary, iii. p. 1952, for references and opposing criticisms. Some of the condemnation of the book is too sweeping, for amid its ignorance, confusion, and indiscrimination there is much to be picked out which is of importance. Cf. Parkman’s Jesuits, p. lxxx; Wilson’s Prehistoric Man, ii. ch. 19; Brinton’s Myths, p. 40. Cf. on Schoolcraft’s death (with a portrait) Historical Mag., April, 1865; Amer. Antiq. Soc. Proc., April, 1865.
F. S. Drake’s Indian Tribes of the United States (Philad., 1884) is, with some additional matter, a rearrangement of Schoolcraft, the omission to acknowledge which on the title-page being an unworthy bibliographical deceit. Schoolcraft’s rivalry of Geo. Catlin and his ignoring of Catlin’s work is commented on at some length by Donaldson in the Smithsonian Inst. Report, 1885, part ii. pp. 373-383.

[1930] Sabin, xvii., no. 70354. The Congrès Archéologique de France began its Séances générales in 1834, but the interest of its Comptes rendus for Americanists is for comparative illustration. The two volumes of Mémoires de la Société Ethnologique (Paris, 1841-45) contain nothing bearing directly on American archæology. Much the same may be said of the Annales Archéologiques fondées par Didron aîné, in 1844, and continued to 1870; of the Bulletin Archéologique (1844-46) of the Athénæum Français, and of its continuation, the Bulletin Archéologique Français (1846-56); and of the Annales of the Institut Archéologique (1844, etc.).

[1932] A Revue Ethnographique was begun in 1869. A Societé Ethnologique, publishing Bulletin (1846-47) and Mémoires (1841-45), is a distinct organization.
[1933] S. H. Scudder, in his Catalogue of Scientific Serials, no. 1528, endeavors to put into something like orderly arrangement the exceedingly devious devices of duplication of this and allied publications.
[1934] A Revue d’Anthropologie was begun at Paris, under the direction of Broca, in 1872. A Société d’Anthropologie began two series, Bulletins and Mémoires, in 1860. Mortillet conducted L’Homme from 1883 to 1887, when he and his associates in this work suspended its publication to devote themselves to a Dictionnaire des Sciences Anthropologiques and to a Bibliothèque Anthropologique.
[1935] Rosny died April 23, 1871.
