PROCEEDINGS OF SECTION P. 453 



{d) RECORDS OF ABORIGINES. 



The following resolution was carried : 



" That in view of the rapid decadence and disappearance of 

 the Australian aborigines, it is urgent that, in the 

 interests of science, further records and collections 

 illustrative of the beliefs, customs, and manner of life 

 of the aborigine, should be made for public preserva- 

 tion, more especially with reference to Queensland and 

 Western Australia."
