Abstract
THIS little book forms an interesting addition to the archaeological and ethnological series for which anthropologists are indebted to the Cambridge University Press. The author shows much erudition and industry in his search for specimens illustrating the cult of thunderstones which are preserved in the museums of England and the Continent. He has explored the volu minous literature of the subject, and he has added a series of illustrations which add much to the scientific value of the monograph.
