HE Annual Report on the Museum of the Royal College of Surgeons of England
at contains an interesting account of the excavations of shell-mounds near Van-

couver. From these excavations, human remains, together with various objects
and ornaments found with the skeletons, were forwarded to the Museum. The work
was carried out under the direction of Mr. Menzies and was financed through the
generosity of Dr. Charles Hose, who is an honorary member of the Art, Historical
Society. Thus a valuable connection has been made with one of the leading scientific

bodies of the world.

The assistance and advice of Prof. Charles Hill-Tout was available at the time
the shell-mounds were being excavated, and the archaeological data supplied by him
added greatly to the value of the work done.

Since sending these remains, Sir Arthur Keith, Conservator of the Museum in
London, and his assistant in charge of the Department of Human Osteology, Miss
M. L. Tildesley, have both become honorary members of the Art, Historical Society.
This is a distinct honor to the local body and one which should prove beneficial to its
archaeological department.
