Enumeration of the Principal Objects from the 

 Pacific in the Ethnographic Collections. 



The following lists do not pretend to be complete, but are simply notes 

 taken hastily in brief visits ; but I have found similar notes, taken fourteen 

 years before, were of great use on the present occasion ; they at least show in 

 ■what groups each museum is well provided:
