IN'IO FIVE VARIETIES. 491 



This race is found in New Holland and Van Diemen's 

 Land, New Guinea New Britain, and the adjacent group 

 sometimes called Solomon's Islands, New Georgia and the 

 Charlotte Islands, the New Hebrides, including Tanna, 

 Mallicollo and others, New Caledonia, and the Feejee 

 Islands. 



The remaining islands of the South Sea, from New Zea- 

 land on the west, to Easter Island, contain a race of much 

 better organization and qualities *. In colour and features, 

 many of them approach to the Caucasian variety ; while 

 they are surpassed by none in symmetry, size, and strength. 

 They have made considerable advances in civilization, and 

 readily learn the arts imparted by their European visitors. 



CONCLUDING ADDRESS TO THE LAST 

 LECTURE. 



I HAVE now. Gentlemen ! performed the task assigned 

 to me by the Board of Curators. 



In judging of the execution of any design, it is right 

 to bear in mind the object and views with which it was un- 

 dertaken. I have been desirous of exhibiting to you, in the 

 Lectures, which are just concluded, the utility and appli- 

 cations of zoological science ; and have, therefore, aimed 

 more at illustrating principles, and the mode of employing 

 and applying knowledge, than at collecting or bringing for- 

 wards a great number or variety of facts.

 jaws as prominent as those of any African Negro, is given by Sir T. S. Raf- 

 fles, in his History of Java, v. 2.
