  PREFACE. 
  

  

  than 
  whom 
  there 
  is 
  no 
  more 
  qualified 
  contributor 
  on 
  that 
  

   subject. 
  

  

  ' 
  The 
  Zoologist 
  ' 
  increases 
  its 
  circulation 
  in 
  our 
  Greater 
  

   Britain, 
  and 
  colonial 
  naturalists 
  make 
  use 
  of 
  its 
  pages. 
  Mr. 
  

   Littler's 
  memoir 
  on 
  the 
  Birds 
  of 
  Tasmania 
  affords 
  an 
  object- 
  

   lesson. 
  

  

  There 
  remains 
  one 
  subject 
  apparently 
  eschewed 
  by 
  our 
  con- 
  

   tributors 
  : 
  we 
  refer 
  to 
  British 
  Anthropology. 
  If 
  " 
  the 
  proper 
  

   study 
  for 
  mankind 
  is 
  Man," 
  the 
  axiom 
  seems 
  at 
  least 
  to 
  be 
  not 
  

   sufficiently 
  appreciated, 
  and 
  the 
  subject 
  too 
  often 
  regarded 
  as 
  

   outside 
  Zoology.
