  collector, 
  perplexed

  will 
  find 
  much 
  assistance 
  from 
  the

  with 
  ref-

  The 
  Queensland 
  

   Museum, 
  at 
  Brisbane, 
  under 
  the 
  charge 
  of 
  Mr. 
  de 
  Vis, 
  is 
  rich 
  in 
  

   specimens 
  illustrating 
  the 
  Natural 
  History 
  and 
  Ethnology 
  of 
  the 
  

   Colony. 
  It 
  is 
  well 
  arranged, 
  although 
  much 
  crowded, 
  and 
  is 
  

   thoroughly 
  appreciated 
  by 
  the 
  community. 
  Here, 
  as 
  elsewhere 
  

   in 
  the 
  Colonies, 
  much 
  attention 
  is 
  paid 
  to 
  the 
  collection 
  and 
  con- 
  

   servation 
  of 
  objects 
  which 
  are 
  of 
  special 
  significance 
  in 
  the 
  

   locality 
  : 
  hence 
  many 
  of 
  the 
  collections 
  are 
  treasure-houses 
  of 
  

   incalculable 
  value 
  to 
  the 
  colonial 
  and 
  to 
  the 
  general 
  student. 
  

   Even 
  the 
  smaller 
  collections 
  of 
  minerals 
  and 
  of 
  aboriginal 
  curi- 
  

   osities 
  are 
  well 
  managed, 
  so 
  that 
  the 
  amount 
  of 
  material 
  at 
  the 
  

   command 
  of 
  a 
  student 
  in 
  any 
  of 
  the 
  departments 
  of 
  Natural 
  

   History, 
  Geology, 
  Ethnology, 
  and 
  Anthropology, 
  is 
  large 
  and 
  

   readily 
  available. 
  To 
  this 
  is 
  to 
  be 
  added 
  the 
  statement, 
  that 
  the 
  

   Curators 
  of 
  the 
  collections, 
  although 
  sedulously 
  guarding 
  the 
  

   unique 
  specimens, 
  afford 
  every 
  facility 
  for 
  their 
  comparison 
  and 
  

   examination. 
  

  

  The 
  voyage 
  from 
  Brisbane
