Abstract
THIS attractively produced quarterly review of archæology is “devoted to the study of the early Pagan and Christian antiquities of Great Britain; mediæval architecture and ecclesiology; the development of the arts and industries of man in the past ages; and the survivals of ancient usages and appliances in the present.” The volume now before us, containing the numbers published this year, is well up to the high standard of its forerunners. The articles will interest students of the archæology of Great Britain; and they are so well illustrated that all who are interested in antiquities may derive pleasure from reading them. Many of the articles are noteworthy. Mr. Leader Scott describes a Gallic necropolis discovered in Italy, on a tract of land at the foot of an indentation of Mount Montefortino, near Arcevia (Ancona). In addition to the archæological aspects, the necropolis affords an interesting study from an ethnological point of view. Mr. Henry Balfour contributes a short paper on the modern use of bone skates and sledges with bone runners. The editor writes on primitive anchors, pot-cranes and their adjustments, and other subjects; Mr. R. A. Gatty describes the objects found in the Barrow at How Tallon; Mr. H. Ling Roth contributes a paper on Benin art, and there are numerous notes on archæology and kindred subjects.
