Fifty-second Monthly Meeting, Hall, Australian Library, 
13th August, 1862. Sir John Young in the Chair. 
Mr. Alfred Roberts asked if any gentleman present could 
furnish some additional information relative to the hairless 
Aboriginals, some of whom had been seen in the district of 
the Ballonne. One of them had been brought to Sydney 
in February last by Mr. Donald McKay, who*had kindly 
afforded him an opportunity of examining the man, but he 
could not find a trace of hair structure on the scalp or 
other part of the body, with the exception of the upper 
eyelid, where a few well formed eye lashes existed. Mr. 
Roberts thought the subject worthy of further investiga- 
tion, and hoped members of the Society, having connections 
with the district from which this man came, would use their 
influence to obtain further information of an authentic 
character.
