Abstract
(1) IN 1899 W. Z. Ripley produced his classic work on “Races of Europe” and the appearance of a book prepared at his suggestion to bring matters up to date is of considerable importance, especially in these days when race-study is suffering so severely from political perversions. Coon has read very widely and tries to bring together data from archæology and physical anthropology; his syntheses are often bold but always suggestive, and hoindicates in several places that evidence on particular points is specially defective.
