Glauert regrets that, due to staff shortages it is impossible to make a detailed examination of the hundreds of boomerangs in the collection.

He refers Hamp to a paper compiled by Professor Davidson on the collection printed in the 'American  Anthropolgist', Vol 38, No. 1 - page 76 and also to a more general article on Western Australian boomerangs by G. T. Walker which is printed in the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series A Vol 190 page 23.

Dr Hamp, writing from Victoria, requires information about any boomerangs held by the Museum as he is hoping to submit an article for overseas production.
He is particularly interested if Glauert has any of the returning type, made by W.A. aborigines. Hamp is under the impression that returning boomerangs  are only to be found in South Australia.
