PUBLICATIONS.

Dr. F. C. Furniss, Chairman of the Committee on

Publications, read the report as follows:

The OHIO ARCHAEOLOGICAL AND HISTORICAL QUARTERLY

has been issued as usual during the past year. A better quality

of paper has been used, which improves the illustrations. Con-

tributions are devoted to the history of Ohio and the Northwest

Territory, together with reports of the archaeological explora-

tions of the Society. This is a fruitful field and it is by no

means exhausted. A cordial invitation is extended to members

of the Society and others interested in this field to send in con-

tributions. These may be mailed to our Secretary, Mr. C. B.

Galbreath.

Scenic and Historic Ohio, a brochure which catalogues

numerous points of historic interest and scenic wonders in Ohio,

has recently been issued jointly by the Agricultural College Ex-

tension Service of the Ohio State University and the Ohio State

Archaeological and Historical Society.  It contains a map of

Ohio showing the location of the points of interest to which the

text of the pamphlet is a key. The material in the pamphlet is

so arranged alphabetically that it affords ready access to the lo-

cation designated on the map. The map also shows the condi-

tion of the roads and enables the tourist to choose routes. There

were 5,000 of these booklets printed and such has been the de-

mand for this first issue (now almost exhausted) that it seems

advisable to republish in the near future a more elaborate edition.
