Abstract
NOTWITHSTANDING reports of damage sustained by archæological collections in the museums of Madrid, it is now announced that an official verification by the Ministry of Public Instruction and the Municipality of Madrid has established the fact that the collections of both the Archæological Museum and the Anthropological Museum of Madrid are intact. Prof. Bosch Gimpera, to whom the editors of L' Anthropologie (48, 3–4 ; 1938) are indebted for the information, goes on to add that the other museums of the area under the Republican Government have been preserved from damage, while the official departments responsible for antiquities are taking every necessary precaution for their safety. As regards the museum at Valencia and the Catalan museums, Prof. Bosch Gimpera, as head of the antiquities service, is able to give his own personal assurance of their safety to his archaeological colleagues outside Spain.
