The Ancient Burial-Mounds of England

MR. GRINSBLL is an enthusiast about his subject ; and although he does not profess to be a scientifically trained archæologist, if he fails to inspire the reader with his own enthusiasm, it will not be the fault of his excellent descriptions of the barrows of England. He includes all that the amateur will desire to know of the history of the study of barrows, of their types and chronology, of burial customs, of their folk-lore and of their local names. He describes the methods of study in field-work and by excavation. Finally, he gives a detailed topographical list of these monuments, of which the only criticism to be made is that it is more complete for the south of England than it is for the north. The illustrations are good, though small. Brief bibliographies are given for the benefit of those who wish to carry their studies further.

Some Recent Papers on Meteorites

WE have before us a number of reprints of recent papers descriptive of various meteorites. Several of these are by the late Dr. Henry A. Ward and the late Prof. E. Cohen, two of the most indefatigable workers in this subject, whose loss is much to be deplored. In 1904, two years before his death, Dr. Ward published a “Catalogue of the Ward-Coonley Collection of Meteorites,” which is not only a catalogue, but contains, in addition, much useful information, including alphabetical and topographical lists of all known meteorites (about 680 in number). The Ward-Coolney collection, now exhibited in the American Museum of Natural History at New York, is one of the most complete that has ever been made, containing as it does representatives of 603 meteoritic falls; it is further remarkable in that it was brought together in the comparatively short space of time of ten years. Prof. Cohen died in 1905, and a third part of his “Meteoreisenkunde” was published after his death; this, which is the only general work that has yet been attempted on meteorites, unfortunately remains incomplete.
