| Title | Unpublished paper, on pygmies by C [Colin] Chisholm |
| Date | 8 January 1809 |
| Description | Chisholm discusses whether or not a small race of man called 'pygmies' had ever truly existed. He insists that they do exist given relations of individuals who visited Madagascar and encountered settlements of people of short stature, referred to as Kimos. Chisholm provices measurements taken from the bodies of an adult Kimo individual and a child. Minor corrections appear throughout in ink and graphite.
