Extensive and unique as is this collection, it is, nevertheless, still too limited 

 to justify any positive and comprehensive conclusions concerning the great 

 fundamental problems of Ethnology. That it will be capable, wheu sufficiently 

 extended, of throwing much lght upon these obscure and unsettled questions, is 

 amply attested by the scientific publications of Dr. Morton. It is earnestly hoped, 

 therefore, that this magnificent nucleus, the result of much pecuniary sacrifice 

 and many years of enthusiastic labor on the part of its late illustrious owner 

 aad founder, will not be Deglected ; but that its efficiency will be increased, and 

 the objects for which it was gathered together attained by contributions from 

 all who may be interested in the advancement of this youngest, most intricate 

 and most important of the sciences. 



The Norwegians and Danes of the Scandinavian race ; the Bas-Bretons ; the 

 Celtic Scotch, Welsh, French, Spanish and Portuguese; the Ancient and Modern 

 Greeks: the Magyar people ; the Great Tartar and" Scythic hordes; the entire 

 Basque Family, and many other races, are without a single representative in the 

 collection. Of the Polar and Tchudic Families it contains but 4, and skulls 

 respectively; while the ancient Romans and their descendants, the modern 

 Transteverini beyond the Tibeu< the great Sclavic race and the Berber tribes 

 are each renresented by but one skull. 



These deficiencies and many others could be particularized are recorded in 

 the hope that the attention of the scientific community being directed to them, 

 they will sooner or later, be supplied. 



On motion of Mr. Lea, it was ordered that a set of the Proceedings, 

 as far as published, be presented to Prince Charles Bonaparte. 



On motion of Mr. Hanson, it was resolved that an invitation be ex- 

 tended to the Educational Convention about to meet in this city, to 

 visit the Museum of the Academy.
