ORIENTAL RESEARCH.
AMERICAN PLANS IN PALESTINE.
London. September 7. At the conference of the Asiatic research societies in London, Professor Clay described the activities of American Assyriologists. He said the American School of Oriental Research in Palestine is shortly re-opening on a more extensive scale than before the war and he hoped it would work in close co-operation with the larger and more important school contemplated by British scientists.
Professor Cordir read a paper on the great development in the knowledge of Chinese art during the past twenty years and the influence thereon of Buddhism.
