Sir, 
I have the honour to submit herewith Part III of Memoir No. 8 
of the Palaeontological Series of the Geological Survey of New South JYales, 
being a continuation of Parts I and II, entitled Contributions to a Catalogue 
of Works, Reports, and Rapers on the Anthropology, Ethnology, and 
Geological History of the Australian and Tasmanian Aborigines, by Pohert 
Etheridge, Junr., Curator of the Australian Museum, &c. 
All scientific men arc conscious of the amount of time consumed in 
hunting up references to previous Avorhers in the literature of any particular 
Science, and therefore the value and convenience of such a Avork as this Avill 
he freely admitted by those interested in the history of the Aboriginal 
Inhahitants of Australia. 
I take this opportunity of expressing my regret at the loss to the 
Department of the services of the Author, who has for the last eight years 
been a member of the Staff of this Branch. It is, however, satisfactory to 
knoAv that although Mr. Etheridge has accepted the appointment of Curator 
of the Australian Museum, he has expressed his AAullingness to act in the 
position of Honorary Consulting Palceontologist to the Geological Survey of 
New South "Wales. 
I have the honour to he. 
Sir, 
Your obedient servant, 
EDIYAIID E. PITTMAN, 
G overnment Geologist.

Under Secretary for Mines and Agriculture.
