Abstract
IN Gustav Oppert's work “On the Weapons, Army Organisation, and Political Maxims of the Ancient Hindus,” the boomerang is mentioned as being among the weapons, especially in Southern India, and made of various materials—iron, ivory, and wood. Are any specimens to be found in our museums here, or would any private persons who may happen to possess any, kindly allow me to inspect them?
