Extract

In December 1910 we published, in conjunction with Dr K. Stuart Cross, in the Proceedings of the Royal Society of Edinburgh (1, 2, 3, 4) a series of four papers dealing with the relations of the Tasmanian aboriginal to Pithecanthropus erectus and to primitive man generally. In an earlier publication, published in the Transactions of the Royal Society of Victoria (5), we also made available the material upon which our Tasmanian work was based. In the present publication we propose to deal with the question of the relationship of the Tasmanian aboriginal to the Australian, with a view to deciding, if possible, the vexed questions as to whether the Tasmanian and the Australian are one and the same race, or, if not, if the Australian is a homogeneous or a heterogeneous race.
