Abstract
The Journal of the Indian Anthropological Institute, vol. 1 (New Series), 1945, contains a number of interesting articles. Desiccation of Asia and its effect on human occupation is discussed by the late Sir Aurel Stein. Colonel Gordon surveys ancient Gandhara, and also describes some rock engravings and microliths in the Bangalore area. Colonel Gordon has long ago shown that most of the rock-shelter paintings arid the rock carvings in India cannot be of any considerable antiquity. Nevertheless, such finds are of great interest, even if not very ancient. There are also papers on megalithic monuments of southern India by A. Aiyappan, and on Gond exogamy by M. P. Buradkar.
