 20 Ethnological copper casts of Heads from India and High Asia, 

 together with a prospectus of Messrs. Schlagintweit's collection of 

 the same. 



These casts are a selection from a large collection, comprising 270 

 casts of the face, and 31 of the hands and feet, made by the Messrs. 

 Schlagintweit during their recent travels in Asia. 



The original moulds have been reproduced by making strong 

 metallic casts of zinc the basis, and coating them with a galvano- 

 plastic deposit of copper varied in tint accordiug to the different 

 degrees of colour of the native Tribes.
