not yet seen this exhibition, we recommend an early to the Central American room; and certainly no student should leave Cambridge until he has obtained a general idea of these wonderful remains of an ancient people on the American continent. One cannot fail to be interested and amazed at the dignity of the sculptures and the beauty of many of the ornaments. The several expeditions have brought to the Museum various pieces of sculpture and numerous small objects, and casts have been made of the great monoliths and altars and other sculptures. Many photographs further illustrate the features of the buildings and the position of the various sculptures, casts of which are shown in the Museum.

To those interested in ancient religions there is here a very remarkable field. The sculptures show that serpent worship was a very prominent feature in the religion of this ancient people.

To the student of the hieroglyphic writings of the ancient Mexicans and Central Americans, the sculptures, casts and photographs offer an unsurpassed opportunity for the interpretation of these as yet but partially deciphered glyphs. In this field there is a grand opening for a second Champollion.
