PREFACE TO REPRINT. 



The fuUowing work having been for some time out of print, 

 and copies very scarce, it was decided to have it reprinted, the 

 Skeleton referred to being still in a good state of preservation in 

 the Australian Museum. The plates have been reproduced 

 exactly as in the original edition, but as unfortunately an error 

 in the delineation of the hands had crept in, two additional 

 plates, taken from photographs of the actual hands now in the 

 Museum, have been added.
