LECTURE BY MR. HAWES

Mr. Charles H. Hawes, of Trinity college, Cambridge, England, will give an illustrated lecture this evening in the Lecture Room of the Fogg Museum at 8 o'clock on the results of his explorations in the island of Sakhalin, Eastern Siberia, which he visited to study the Russian convict settlements and the native tribes.

Much of the journey was made in canoes through a region not before visited by English travellers, where the inefficient administration of the penal settlements has permitted the escape of prisoners, many of whom have become forest outlaws. The natives of the region belong to five different peoples, and among them are some whose religious rites include the keeping and sacrificing of bears. The return journey was made through Manchuria, which at that time had to be crossed in disguise.

The lecture will present a general account of the island of Sakhalin, and a more special account of the ethnological peculiarities and relations of its primitive tribes, with illustrations from original photographs. It will be open to the public.
