Leipsic, April, 1873. 



By authority of — 



The EegtENts of the Museum of Ethnology. 



For a more definite description of the objects which are desired for 

 the " Museum of Ethnology," the Board of Eegents beg leave to call the 

 attention of its friends to the following summary, requesting them not 

 to neglect the smallest thing, whose importance may depend not so much 

 on the worth of the object itself, as upon the value wliich it may possess 

 in the whole series, and upon the amount of its contribution to the com- 

 pleteness of the collection. 



[Note. — The classes of culture-historical objects are arranged as 

 nearly as possible in what Dr. Klemm considered to be the order of 

 development, supposing the human race to have grown up from a con- 

 dition characterized by the want of all things. — O. T. M.] 



OBJECTS WHICH THROW LIGHT UPON THE 

 CONSTITUTION OP THE HUMAN RACE. 



Skeletons. 



Skulls, methods of measuring aud appa- 

 ratus used. 



Pelves. 



Single bones. 



Mummies. 



Brains, "^ 



Inner organs, | Preserved in 



Embryological specimens, )> alcohol or 



Parts of the body, | otherwise. 



Skin, J 



Teeth. 



Hair. 



At the same time not only must the 

 human subject be regarded, but also 

 the animals which are definitely re- 

 lated to man, as for example : 



Paleontological remains. 



Animal mummies. 



Parasites. 



Domestic animals, &c. 



In order to render individual peculiarities 

 of single men harmless, for the deter- 

 mination of characteristic [class] attri- 

 butes, it is desirable to collect the 

 greatest number possible of skulls, &c., 

 of the same race.
