The Norman Manuscript, containing- a vocabulary and notes on customs in use among Tasmanian Aboriginals, was recently discovered among the archives deposited in the Tasmanian Museum, Hobart, and is now published in full in the Transactions of the Royal Society of Tasmania. It is of great value, as containing what is probably the only vocabulary now extant in the original manuscript, and also a number of incidental notes written by the same hand.
