Excerpt from The Journal of the Anthropological Institute of Great Britain and Ireland, 1872, Vol. 1 Our own system of relationships naturally follows from the marriage of single pairs; and it is, in its general nomenclature, so mere a description of the actual facts, that most persons tacitly regard it as necessarily general to the human race, with, of course, verbal and unimportant differences in detail. Hence but little information can be extracted from dictionaries and vocabularies. They generally, for instance, give words for uncle, aunt, and cousin; but an uncle may be either a father's brother or a mother's brother, and an aunt may be either a father's sister or a mother's sister; a first cousin, again, may be the child of any one of these four uncles, and aunts but practically, as we shall see, these cases are in many races distinguished from one another and I may add, in passing, it is by no means clear that we are right in regarding them as identical and equivalent. Travellers have, on various occasions, noticed with surprise some special peculiarity of nomenclature which came under their notice; but Mr. Morgan was the first to perceive the importance of the subject, and to collect complete schedules of relationships. The special points which have been observed have, indeed, been generally regarded as mere eccentricities, but this is evidently not the case, because the principle or principles to which they are due are consistently carried out, and the nomenclature is reciprocal generally, though not quite without exceptions. Thus, if the Mohawks call a father's brother, not an uncle, but a father, they not only call his son a brother and his grandson a son, but these descendants also use the correlative terms. We must remember that our ideas of relationships are founded on our social system, and that, as other races have very dif ferent habits and ideas on this subject, it is natural to expect that their systems of relationship would also differ from ours. I have elsewhere pointed out, that the ideas and customs with reference to marriage are very dissimilar in different races, and we may say, as a general rule, that, as we descend in the scale of civilisation, the family diminishes, and the tribe increases, in importance. Words have a profound influence over thought, and true family-names prevail principally among the highest races of men. Even in the less advanced portions of our own country, we know that collective names were those of the tribe, rather than the family.

Excerpt from Journal of the Anthropological Institute of New-York, 1872, Vol. 1 In favor of its continuance is the fact Of a certain prestige attaching to it as one of the oldest societies Of the kind in the world; one which has numbered among; its promoters and members some Of the ablest and most earnest students of our own and other countries, and which, in the earlier years of its existence, made valuable contributions to ethnography gene rally, and to American ethnography in particular. The Society was organized mainly under the auspices of the late Hon. Albert gallatin, a man of great research, vigor, and keen ness of intellect, who brought around him such men as Dr. Edward Robinson, John L. Stephens, John R. Bartlett, Theo dore Dwight, Dr. Francis, George Folsom, Professor W. W. Turner, Dr. Hawks, and others, all and each of distinction in their respective departments of inquiry. Mr. Gallatin's house was the true seat of the society, and Mr. Gallatin him self its controlling spirit. His name gave it character, and from his purse mainly was defrayed the cost of the two volumes of Transactions which constitute about the only claim the Society possesses on the respect of the scientific world, and about its only title to be considered a learned society.

Excerpt from The Journal of the Anthropological Institute of Great Britain and Ireland, 1882, Vol. 11 Another curious point noted by Dr. Broea is that, although these perforations are found in various parts of the skull and the posthumous mutilations are often of great extent, the forehead is always carefully exempted in both cases; this he adduces as one proof among many that these holes were not wounds received 1n battle; and also as showing a desire not to interfere with the personal appearance either during after death, lest the deceased should not be recognised in the world of spirits.
