The address concentrates on the Australian Aborigines, with particular reference to the recent publications of Roth, Spencer and Gillen. He concludes that the 'Australian is not degenerate but primordial ... A consequence of this is, that no longer protected by isolation, he must shortly entirely disappear from the face of the earth, for he is an anachronism and archaic'. This issue also contains HOWCHIN, Walter: Notes on the Geology of Kangaroo Island, with special reference to evidences of extinct glacial action (10 pages plus 2 plates).
