the Pjxposiciou Historico-Anieticana by about 

 5,000 objects, selected from the colled ions, 

 and intended to present a synopsis of aborig- 

 inal industry. The objects were exhibited in 

 nineteen double slope-top cases, which were 

 distributed throughout the main hall assigned 

 to the United States. They were classified, so 

 far as possible, in such a way as to show a series 

 of implements and objects in each case or in 

 each portion of a ca.se. General labels descrip- 

 tive of the series were printed in Spanish and 

 distributed in their appropriate places. A 

 description of the objects displayed, together 

 with the names assigned to them, the material 

 used, the mode of manufacture, and probabhi 

 purpose, are set forth in the catalogue.

 The original colony must have been restricted 

 in number and locality. It grew in numbers 

 and spread to other localities, until the Indian 

 population increased to millions, and covered 

 the two continents. This required a long 

 period of time. The original colony must have 

 had but one language, but by extension and 

 separation it acquired now ones, until the num- 

 ber amounted to nearly two hundred.
