Abstract
IN the issue of NATURE dated December 28, 1899, there appeared a notice of my book, “Eaglehawk and Crow,” from the pen of Prof. A. C. Haddon. A copy did not reach me till the end of February, and for that and other reasons which need not be mentioned I delayed replying to the criticisms passed. With your kind permission I shall now endeavour to meet the principal objections raised to my work, with a desire of advancing, if even in a very small measure, our knowledge of Australian ethnology. All ethnologists are agreed upon the difficulty of the Australian problem, and no one who attempts to solve it will be surprised at their agreement.
