_Prehistoric Archaeology._ 4to, pp. 116. In Vol. II of the Iconographic Encyclopaedia (Philadelphia, 1886).

_Races and Peoples; Lectures on the Science of Ethnography._ 8vo, pp. 313 (N. D. C. Hodges, New York, 1890).

_The American Race; a Linguistic Cla.s.sification and Ethnographic Description of the Native Tribes of North and South America._ 8vo, pp. 392 (N. D. C. Hodges, New York, 1891).

In addition to these I would name the following as among the best works for the student of this branch:--
