It is not possible to enumerate here the many valuable papers in geographical and other journals to which the writers are largely indebted, nor to the many important books of travel by which our knowledge has been so vastly increased of late years. The works of Lieutenant Peary, Dr. Sven Hedin, Dr. Gregory, Sir Harry Johnston, Stanley, Nansen, Younghusband, and others, have been of the greatest service to ethnologists, and the writers have freely drawn upon the latest and fullest sources of information.
