" I wish to make it clear that by this time I have become very skeptical 

 of Indian culture having been appreciably influenced from Oceania, although 

 I shall endeavour to stand entirely apart from that, and discuss the problem 

 as objectively as possible." (P. 261.) 



"As is well known, we find in South America quite a number of culture 

 elements of which parallels are found in Oceania. These %ve may call 

 Oceanic, although it certainly does not imply any proof that they have been 

 imported into America from Oceania." (P. 264.) 



" In conclusion I ought to remark that South American Indian civiliza- 

 tion includes certain elements that have been adopted in post-Columbian 

 times from Negroes and Europeans, and have so completely merged into 

 this culture that it is only through the most careful investigation that 

 proofs of their origin are establishable." (P. 306.)

Fig. p. 481 : " Peinture d'un vase, trouve a Santiago de Cao, pres de 

 Trujillo, representant des macons construisant un mur en briques." Two 

 figures with white faces, four black; the white figures look like Whites, 

 have peaked soft caps (like night caps) ; the black figures — without any 

 definite racial characteristics — are evidently slaves. Bricks small, like ordi- 

 nary white man's bricks. 



" Peinture d'un vase trouve a Puno representant des Indiens construisant 

 une maison." (P. 471.) No description; three figures with white faces, 

 two with dark; clothing of white-faced figures like that of Whites (espe- 

 cially last figure on right) ; that of dark-faced is Indian; features of large 

 dark figure an Indian, those of small dark figure indistinguishable.
