Abstract

THE Beothucks described in this fine monograph, the result of the life-long devotion of Mr. Howley to the investigation of this mysterious tribe, are an ethnological puzzle, and, like that of the Tasmanians, with the scanty material at our disposal it is practically insoluble. In the case of these two races we possess little material save some articles recovered from their graves or camps and the more or less vague and fragmentary accounts of untrained observers.

The Beothucks or Red Indians, the Aboriginal Inhabitants of Newfoundland.

By J. P. Howley. Pp. xx + 348. (Cambridge: At the University Press, 1915.) 1l. 1s. net.
