Excerpt from Guide to Anthropological Collection in the Provincial Museum
I have the honour to submit for your approval a Guide to the Collection of Anthropology m the Provincial Museum, prepared by Charles F. Newcombe, M.D.
Since the last Catalogue was issued, in September, 1898, there have been added over three hundred and ten specimens, many of them valuable exhibits. It is difficult to display these specimens as they should be, as the collection is greatly crowded, and has outgrown the space allotted to it.
