    PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION. Edited by Colonel Lane-Fox, now Lieut.-Q-eneral Pitt-Rivers, D.C.L., P.E.S. (abbib&ed). Thbsb Notes and Queries are published by tbe British Association for the Advancement of Science. * » « » The object of the work is to promote aceumte anthi'opological observation on the part of travellers, and to enable those who are not anthi'opologists themselves to supply the information which is wanted for the scientific study of anthropology at home. History has confined itself chiefly to the achievements of special races ; but the anthropologist regards all races as equally worthy of a place in t'le records of human development. The more remote and unknown the race or tribe, the more valuable the evidence afforded of the study of its institutions, from the probability of their being less mixed with those of European origin.
