Gifts to Peabody Museum

Dr. Charles Peabody, of the Anthropological Department, has returned from a four months' archaeological tour abroad, during which time he travelled through most of Europe and attended three scientific congresses.

He has secured, and presented to the Peabody Museum, specimens from the most famous European prehistoric sites, which form a valuable addition to the museum's collection. He made personal collections of flint chips and fragments from the "eolithic" sites of Otta, Portugal, and of Mons, Belgium--fragments that have lain in the gravel banks for ages, and which may represent the work of intelligent beings of the first quaternary, or even tertiary, epochs.

He officially represented the Peabody Museum and the Division of Anthropology at the Prehistoric Congress of France held at Autun in August, and at the International Reunion of Anthropologists held at Cologne in the same month.
