15 What finally became of each occupying tribe?

 What are the skull indices, skeletal measurements ? 



1 8 How do the implements, pottery, ornaments etc. of each culture 

 seem to have been made ? 



19 What documents exist describing the tribes that lived here 

 when the country was first opened? How much may be learned 

 from these documents and books concerning the material culture and 

 customs of these people? 



20 What persons have made collections of specimens from the 

 various sites of aboriginal occupation, and in what condition are 

 these collections? 



Questions like these might be multiplied, but these will suffice.
