THE Smithsonian Institution has just issued its annual Exploration Pamphlet, describing and illustrating its scientific field-work throughout the world during 1920. Twenty-three separate expeditions were in the field carrying on researches in geology, palaeontology, zoology, botany, astrophysics, anthropology, archajology, and ethnology, and the regions visited included the Canadian Rockies, fourteen States of the United States, Haiti, Jamaica, four countries of South America, Africa from the Cape to Cairo, China, Japan, Korea, Manchuria, Mongolia, Australia, and the Hawaian Islands. The pamphlet serves as a preliminary announcement of the results obtained, though many of the expeditions will be more fully described later in the various series of publications under the direction of the Smithsonian Institution.
