52 Berry and Robertson : 



Taylor was also good enough to present us with a cast of 

 number two of Harper and Clarke's series, numbered 4291, in 

 the Hobart Museum, and this has been deposited in the Anatomy 

 Museum of the University of Melbourne. 



Passing up into the interior of Tasmania, nine more, includ- 

 ing two fragments, were discovered in the possession of Mr. E. 

 0. Cotton, Kelvedon, and these also are new to scientists. 



In the museum at Launceston we dealt with all tive skulls in 

 their collection, numbered 1201 to 1205, both inclusive. One 

 more we discovered in the possession of Mr. Leslie Jolly of 

 Launceston, and lastly, we succeeded in discovering two more in 

 the possession of the Devonport Town Board. These eight 

 skulls have not previously been known to scientists. 



The extent of our new discovery of Tasmanian crania may 

 therefore be summarised as follows : — 



1. Tasmanian Museum, Hobart - - - 9 



2. Dr. E. L. Crowther, Hobart - - - - 13 



3. Mr. A. J. Taylor, Hobart - - - . 2 

 4r. Inspector Cook, Hobart . _ . . 1 



5. Mr. E. O. Cotton, Kelvedou - - - - 9 



6. Launceston Aluseum ----- 5 



7. Ml'. Leslie Jolly, Launceston - - - 1 



8. Devonport Town Board ----- 2 



Total - - 42 



The details are set forth in Table 2. 



Pending the settlement of the question as to where these- 

 relics of Palaeolithic Man's sojourn in Tasmania are to be ulti- 

 mately housed, our problem was how to leave them, in the 

 meantime, in the hands of their lawful owners and at the same 

 time make them available for scientific study in all parts of the 

 world. 



This problem we have partially solved by taking accurate^ 

 dioptrographic tracings of every skull in four normae, namely, 

 norma verticalis, norma lateralis, norma facialis, and norma 

 occipitalis, all of which are recorded, life size, by means of 

 Professor Martin's ingenious instrument. We have therefore 

 taken no less than 212 tracings of these Tasmanian crania.
