Abstract
The crania of which the measurements are hereinafter given are all in the Tasmanian Museum at Hobart, and have never before been measured. It is to be regretted that more were not available, and that those in the Museum were so damaged and incomplete. However, as, comparatively speaking, very few complete craniometrical tables of Tasmanian skulls have been published, we believe that our efforts in this direction may prove of some value. We have not attempted to draw conclusions as to the origin of the Tasmanians, nor to define characteristics, we have simply taken the measurements as accurately and carefully as possible, and hope that our masters, the savants of the Old World, will find in their researches some use for these records of an extinct race.
