Abstract
RECENTLY, there has been a certain correspondence in the Press about the India Museum, and now the question has been ventilated in NATURE of January 29 (pp. 177, 193). Though, unfortunately, I have only the usual superficial knowledge of things Indian, may I discuss the wider point of view of archæology and ethnology in general? These are, of course, one and the same, the latter being only the former in the present tense. This point is indeed made in the remark regretting “the present divorce of antiquity from historic times”.
