EXPLANATION OF TILE FIGUEES. 



Fig. 1. Profile of skull of an ancient Briton, from a barrow at Codfordj Wilts 

 (region of the Belgce). 



The parieto-occiiDital flatness is nearly equal to that of Fig. 2. 



Fig. 2. Profile of skull of an ancient Gaul, from the dolmen discovered at Meu- 

 don, Seine et Oise (Region of the PaiHsii), July 1845. 



The parieto-occipital flatness is very extensive, and its plane is as nearly as pos- 

 sible parallel to that of the vertical line. 



Fig. 3. Profile of imperfect calvarium of a Lenni-Lenape, from a grave found, 

 in 1861, at Delawai-e Gap, Pennsylvania. 



The parieto-occipital flatness presents itself at a very different angle from that of 

 Pigs. 1 and 2, stUl one that is common among ancient British skulls. 



The figures are all quarter size.
