402 ETHNOLOGY. 



end, and to bring the undertaking into perfect shape. Therefore, we 

 appeal, first of all, to onr German fellow-citizens, and after them to all 

 those who are interested in the development of the human race, request- 

 ing them to encourage our work by becoming members of the museum, 

 as well as by gifts of money and relics. 



We refer to the accompanying constitution, and hope for a large and 

 liberal indorsement of our enterprise. 



Not less welcome to us are all such objects as properly find place in 

 our collection, and which the accompanying classified catalogue desig- 

 nates. In this respect we rely especially upon our numerous fellow- 

 countrymen in foreign parts, who have the requisite facilities, by trans- 

 mitting any kind of ethnological objects, photographs, pictures, models, 

 &c., from the countries where they reside, to give a living evidence that 

 they, realizing the intellectual.endeavors of the fatherland, have also a 

 warm heart for our cause. 



And especially would we earnestly recommend the enterprise to the 

 consuls of the German government and to its other foreign representa- 

 tives, and beg them to work diligently for it. So also we propose it as 

 desirable to organize in jjroper places local societies for the furtherance 

 of our scheme. We look upon the formation of such societies as one of 

 the principal duties of the managers, and we invite the foreign friends 

 of the cause who may be so inclined to accept the honor of such an 

 " agency," and to oblige the undersigned by informing them of the fact. 



We indulge the hope that everywhere, in our country as well as 

 abroad, friends of our work will be found gathered, who will assume 

 the task of fostering and furthering the Museum of Ethnology, and 

 who will gladly embrace every opportunity to favor us. Those who 

 render especial service to the museum may be admitted to " honorary 

 membership," or be named in a list of " patrons," and receive a diploma 

 therefor. 



Finally, we desire for the foregoing circular the widest possible pub- 

 :iicity,
