Peabody Museum Acquisitions.

Mr. Lewis H. Farlow of Boston has recently given the Peabody Museum an interesting and valuable collection of Indian baskets. It includes some remarkably fine specimens from the Aleutian Islands, British Columbia and California, and an odd and rare gambling placque of the Yuma Indians of Nevada. Mrs. Q. Nuthall has presented the Museum with several cases of rare Mexican objects, and a representative collection has been received from Mr. Alexander Agassiz, illustrating the ethnology of the Maldive Islands, which he visited last winter.
