Notes: Memoirs of the Laboratory of Anthropology Volume 1.  Errata slip laid in in Copy 1. Errata slip states author’s dissatisfaction regarding certain color plates. Apparently the first three printings were not distributed due to the problem, but this printing was finally released by the Laboratory of Anthropology.  Copies 2, 3, and 4 are the second edition, revised, published in 1953.  Copy 4 is signed by Chapman above the title (see photo).
