ETHNOGRAPHICAL COLLECTIONS. 



The Ethnographical Collections are good, the valuable objects 

 lent by Trinity College being such as can no longer be procured. They are 

 being arranged on a special system by which the study of the comparative 

 civilization of the many primitive races of mankind here illustrated is made 

 simple and easy.
