This sketch is so well executed that it may be considered as the most perfect specimen of art transmitted to us from those remote times. It is certainly superior to the best productions of this kind from the caves of Southern France. A subject of growing archaeological interest is the origin and relation- ship of the Etruscans, and the attempts to decipher their language are multi- plying. The effort of Mr. Isaac Taylor to assign to them a Turanian origin has awakened a great deal of controversy. Dr. Cors- sen, the first volume of whose great work, con- taining 1016 pages; has just been published, as- signs to them an Aryan origin, in which opinion, of course, Professor Max Muller agrees. The most scholarly and recent work on prehistoric re- mains in Europe is "Cave Hunting: Researches on the Ev- idence of Caves respecting the Early Inhabitants of Europe, London, 18*74," by Mr. W. Boyd Dawkins. The author, after narrating briefly the historic interest which has always hung around caves, describes in detail the researches which have been made in all of the principal caves of Europe, and the results which have accrued. Up to its publication, the re- mains of the Paleolithic man have been discovered in the fol- lowing caves:.
