BY R. ETHERIDGE, JUNE. 345 



Previous to Mr. Man's Ethnological researches in the Andaman 

 Islands, Major-General Lane-Fox had also remarked* on the close 

 resemblance this "particular mode of covering the head and parts 

 of the face with white when in mourning, Og-da," bore to the 

 Australian custom. It is not the only resemblance the Anda- 

 manese bear to our Aborigines. 



It was my intention to have made some remarks on the use of 

 black as a sign of mourning amongst the Australian Indigenes, 

 but the present subject has extended beyond the limits I at first 

 contemplated.
