ACCESSIONS 45 collected by F. D. McCarthy of the Australian Museum and Frank M. Setzler, during the Smithsonian-National Geographic Society Arnhem Land Expedition in 1948, constitutes an unusual accession. New accessions in the division of physical anthropology include a plaster cast of the Ganovce Neanderthal skull found in 1926 in a travertine quarry in northern Slovakia. The original is a travertine cast of the endocranial cavity with onl)^ a little adherent cranial bone still in place. So far as is known, no other copy of this important M. W. Stirling, former director of Bureau of American Ethnology, inspects recently acquired cast of an Olmec head he discovered in Southern Mexico. Original stone head was excavated by Smithsonian-National Geographic Expe- dition led by him to Vera Cruz, Mexico, in 1946.
