Munich was next visited. Here the konigliche ethnologis- 

 che Museum is in the charge of the well-known scientist and trav- 

 eler Dr. Max Biichner. The Bavarian capital is famous for its pub- 

 lic buildings but many of them are only archite(5tural displays with 

 little capacity or convenience between the walls, and in one of these

The method of making shell-money is clearly shown . The 

 white disks are chipped from Conns, the purple from Cyprcra shells, 

 both by means of an oblong pebble rounded at both ends. Each 

 disk is bored separately by the ordinary pump-drill armed with a
