A descriptive catalogue of the osteological specimens relating to the Tasmanian aborigines contained in the Tasmanian Museum

During the course of the preparation of a paper dealing with certain recent valuable additions to the Tasmanian Museum it became necessary for us to revise the complete collection of the osteological specimens relating to the Tasmanian Aborigines.<br>This list forms a record of the largest single collection of osteological remains of the extinct Tasmanian aboriginal race. It embraces also specimens concerning which data are being gathered for publication. Again, in the course of the work additional particulars have been added to specimens already described in part. As will be seen, with the exception of the researches of Harper and Clarke and later of Berry and Robertson on certain of the crania included in this list, none of the specimens have been described. Even the complete skeleton of Trucanini (the last of her race) remains to be measured and the indices to be tabulated.<br>Yet again, four more crania, the property of various gentlemen and hitherto and undescribed, have been located.<br>It is the intention of the authors to proceed steadily with the work of describing in detail the more important of the specimens included in this list, together with the additional crania mentioned above.
