[The new and enlarged series of the Journal is worthy of the Institute, and of the increasingly important place which the science of anthropology is taking in the estimation of the scientific world. The traditions and customs of savage and barbarous races, apart from which those of the European races cannot be understood, very properly receive a large share of attention. The Journal has long been of great value to all serious students of folklore, and in its new form bids fair to be of still greater use.]
