Abstract

The Norman Manuscript, containing- a vocabulary
and notes on customs in use among Tasmanian
Aboriginals, was recently discovered among the archives
deposited in the Tasmanian Museum, Hobart, and is now
published in full in the Transactions of the Royal Society
of Tasmania.
It is of great value, as containing what is probably
the only vocabulary now extant in the original manuscript,
and also a number of incidental notes written by
the same hand.
