AUSTRALIAN EXPEDITION REPORTS ON ABORIGINES

The first report of a year-long Harvard expedition to Australia, which traveled more than 10,000 miles on the continent and took physical measurements of some 2,500 aborigines, will be made tomorrow night by Joseph B. Birdsell, physical anthropologist of the Peabody Museum at 8 o'clock tonight in the Institute of Geographical Exploration.

Birdsell and his collaborator Norman B. Tindale, of the South American Museum, made studies of the original peopling of the continent of Australia and also the anthropological results of radical mixtures.

The lecture is sponsored by the Peabody Museum and will be illustrated by slides.
