The voyage of the Vega round Asia and Europe; with a historical review of previous journeys along the north coast of the Old World . fEuropean race. But sooncuriosity took the upperhand.

Asthey still almost belong t(jthe Stone Age, and as theircontact with Europeans hasbeen so limited that it hasnot perhaps conduced toalter their taste and skill inart, this question appearsto me to have a great inter-est both for the historianof art, who here obtains information as to the nature of the seed from which at last theskill of the master has been developed in the course of ages andmillenniums, and for the archseologist, who finds here a startingpoint for forming a judgment both of the Scandinavian rock-etchings and the palaeolithic drawings, which in recent timeshave i>layed so great a part in enabling us to understandthe oldest history of the human race. We have thereforezealously collected all that we could of Chukch carvings, K K. ^^^1 MUtSICAL INSTRUMENTS. 1. Whistle-pipe, natural size. 2. , one-eighth of natural size : a mouth-hole.
