Statistics for the years 1911, 1912, and 1913 have been added, bringing
those useful features down to date. In the beautiful pictures, as well
as in the compiled facts, there is much to serve the historian of the
Pacific Northwest.

THE ARCHAEOLOGICAL COLLECTION FROM THE SOUTHERN INTERIOR OF BRITISH

1913. Pp. 40.)
When Harlan I. Smith was associated with the American Museum of Natural
History in New York he did much work on the archaeology of the Pacific

for the far west, though now for the Canadian Government. The book is
beautifully printed and is enhanced in value by sixteen full-page
plates, mostly of stone implements. Future students will find the work
of prime value.
