The American Museum Journal Vol. II. OCTOBER, 1902 No. 7. I HE sessions of the International Congress of Ameri- canists are to be held in the halls of the Museum October 20 to 25, inclusive, and elaborate prepara- tions have been made to insure the complete suc- cess of the convention, especially since this will be the first time that the meetings of this association have been held in the United States. A brief history of the inception and growth of the Congress and an extended notice of the meetings to be held this month in the Museum were published in the Journal for March last. The present number contains two articles which will be of especial interest to the members of the Congress and to others interested in anthropology. These are the statements regarding the extensive ethnological work being carried on by the Museum, under the supervision of Professor Boas, and a summary account of the recent expedition by Dr. Hrdlicka, which lasted seven months and continued the field work of the investigations which he has been carrying on for several years among the Indian tribes of the Southwestern States and Mexico. Investigations of particular moment to the Americanists have been carried on in Mexico by Mr. M. H. Saville and will be made the subject of special communications to the Congress. A report of the proceedings of the Congress may be expected in the December number of the Journal. The present issue of the Journal is not accompanied by a supplement, but it contains more than double the usual number of pages and in addition to the anthropological articles just men- tioned is devoted to reports from some of the expeditions sent out by or under the auspices of the Museum during the past summer season. Other reports may be expected in future num- bers. 55
