Extract

The extinction of the Tasmanian aboriginal in 1876 closed, for all practical purposes, the further scientific study of this ancient and highly interesting race, and it appeared almost certain that our knowledge of this people would remain dependent on the earlier works of those who were fortunate enough to have studied them during life, and on the few remains housed in such fortunate centres as London, Paris, Edinburgh, Oxford, and Cambridge.
