In this volume will be found a selection of the most interesting uncivilized tribesthat inhabit, or once inhabited, America and the vast number of islands which liebetween that country and the eastern coast of Asia, including among them the greatgroups of Australia and New Zealand. A short notice is given of the long-perishedLake-dwellers of Switzerland, and the partial civilization of India, China, Japan andSiam is also represented.
