Report of the Council. 

 The Council beg to submit the following memoranda drawn up by 

 the Assistant Secretary and the Curator. 



On a proposal made by the President (Mr. G-rote) at a Meeting of 

 the Natural History Committee, held on the 11th February, 1862, for 

 devoting special attention to the subject of Ethnology, with the view 

 of bringing together collections of Crania illustrative of the various 

 races inhabiting India and the adjacent countries, a circular letter 

 was printed, soliciting the favour of co-operation from members and 

 others towards the object in view. 



Not a single copy of this circular letter was issued direct from the 

 office, but 57 copies were sent to Dr. Macrae on the 25th March, 1862, 

 and a dozen to the President on the 1st April. 



In April 1862, a cranium of a Lurka Cole was received from Dr. 

 Hayes of Singbhoom ; no letter accompanied the donation ; it was 

 forwarded to the Museum by the President. 



Dr. T. Dillon, in a letter from Munnipore, dated the 20th January, 

 1863, promised to send a collection of Crania of the hill tribes of 

 Assam and the Eastern Frontier, but not a single cranium has been 

 received from him. 



Col. Dalton, on the 10th April, 1863, announced from Ranchi the 

 despatch of a collection of Crania, and enclosed statements of them.
