THE HE ANTHROPOLOGICAL REVIEW is an effort to supply a want which has long been felt by all who have directed any serious attention to the philosophy or natural history of Man. It will be a repository of facts, an arena for discussion, and a medium of communication between Anthropologists and travellers all over the world. All relevant subjects will receive, in its pages, a free and fair consideration, irrespective of party or personal feelings, and it will be the aim of the Editors to see that every question is discussed purely on its merits, and that every shade of opinion shall be able to command a fair and adequate representation. Neither will the work be a merely passive recipient of the communications of the learned, or of the facts brought to light by travellers and explorers. It will actively seek, by every available means, to promote the study of Man" in all his leading aspects, physical, mental, and historical; to investigate the laws of his origin and progress; to ascertain his place in nature and his relations to the inferior forms of life; and to attain these objects by patient investigation, careful induction, and the encouragement of all researches tending to establish a de facto science of man." As a means of attaining these objects it will contain : 1. Original Articles, or Translations of Original Communications in Foreign Languages. 2. Reviews of the principal British and Foreign Works on Anthropology. 3. Short notices of the Minor Works bearing on the Science of Man. 4. Miscellaneous Anthropological Intelligence. The "ANTHROPOLOGICAL REVIEW" will be published on The Price the 1st of February, May, August, and November. to Annual Subscribers will be Twelve Shillings, or Post free Thirteen Shillings and Fourpence. Single Numbers, Four Shillings. Books intended for review, and all Communications relating to the Journal, to be addressed to "The Editors," care of MESSRS.

No. VII. NOVEMBER, 1864. NOTES ON WAITZ'S ANTHROPOLOGY. BY CAPTAIN R. F. BURTON, V.P.A.S.L. I HASTEN to express the satisfaction derived from the perusal of the Anthropological Society's valuable publication, the first volume of Professor Waitz's Anthropology of Primitive Peoples, in the excellent translation of Mr. J. Fred. Collingwood. My object in taking up my pen is not to criticise an author who quotes in one tome nearly 1000 authorities, but simply as a traveller to point out and rectify within the range of my personal experience where the learned Professor's citations are no longer of their original value. I anticipate a further necessity of revision in the future volumes, especially that in treating on Africa, and having observed that the confraternity of which I am a humble member, is expressly invited so to do in Pref. p. xv, I make no more apology, but plunge in medias res. (P. 37.) Dr. Waitz does not entirely assent to D'Orbigny's assertion touching the shortening and thickening of the body trunk in High Peru. I have observed this peculiarity amongst the Mountain Affghans, and I appeal to all who have visited Tibet and Upper Mongolia if such is not notably the case, especially when comparing the natives of the plateaux with the Hindús of the plains-also in pre-historic times a Mongol race. Broca (p. 226) when classifying peoples according to physical character, rightly placed the Hindú among the Mongols. D'Omalius d'Halloy made the Hindú a mixture of white Aryan and black Aborigen (p. 232), but for the latter we must read Mongol. (P. 40). I may remark that the demureness of the Arab boy arises from his being so much in the society of his elders. Before determining that a Negro child runs earlier than that of a European, it is always necessary carefully to learn the age. I have mistaken Negro boys of nine for five years old, VOL. II.-NO.
