to light a rich collection of Stone Age tools and of fossils of mammalian fauna. Some of the implements are represented in beautiful drawings in the article (pp. 160-182). Two shorter reports, "Prehistoric Pakistan" by Ahmad Hasan Dani and "Prehistoric Archaeology in Ceylon" by P. E. P. Deranivagala, conclude this section.
Most articles include drawings and many photos.
IV. Special Taiwan Section
This part is introduced by guest editor Kwang-chih Chang. Taiwan can be regarded as being of particular interest to pre-historians as it is an important link between the East Asian continent and the islands of the Western Pacific, more specifically speaking, between the archaeology of the mainland and the ethno-logy of the Pacific. C. C. Lin in “Geology and Ecology of Taiwan Prehistory" deals with the Quarternary Period in Taiwan. Pin-hsiung Liu reports on excavations in Ta P'en K'eng and other prehistoric sites in Taiwan in 1962 and 1963. Naoichi Kokubu presents an analysis of the prehistoric Ryukyu Islands and deals with questions different from those in Erika Kaneko's report listed in Part III.
Other contributions by Kwang-chih Chang and Wilhelm G. Solheim II deal with the relationships of Taiwan in prehistoric times with China (Chang) and Southeast Asia (Solheim). Isidore Dyen's linguistic study on "The Position of the Malayopolynesian Languages of Formosa" concludes the articles in the Taiwan section. A "Selected Bibliography of Taiwan Archaeology : 1953 - 1962” is appended.
Hong Kong University Press must be thanked for the excellent printing of this valuable volume, including its many photos and drawings.
