...which has great value in trowing light on Mexican archaeology. Another valuable Mexican collection has been formed from numerous objects of interest which Mrs. Warren purchased during her travels in Mexico. Through the generosity of Mr. Stephen Salisbury the museum will be able to represent the front of an ancient palace at Labua. Casts of the building will be taken from moulds made by Mr. Edward Thompson. The casts are valuable as showing the strange workmanship in the old stone carvings of the palace. A collection of human skulls found near Zuni has been presented by Mrs. Hemenway; this collection...
...explorations have been going on in the Little Miami Valley. Here two camps have been established, one at the Turner group where Professor Putnam and Dr. Metz have been exploring for the past ten years: the other about twenty miles further up the river.
