Dr. Modigliani's Exploration of Nias

Abstract

You have on two occasions given news of Dr. Elio Modigliani's recent exploration of this remarkable and interesting island. I believe it will therefore interest your readers if I endeavour to complete such information. Dr. Modigliani returned to Florence from Nias a short time ago, and at the last meeting of our Anthropological Society gave an able and graphic account of his visit to the island, and especially of his experience of the people; he illustrated his communication with an exhibition of the rich and very complete ethnological and anthropological collections he has made.
