Dr. Morton exhibited, in further illustration, six casts of heads 

 and three skulls of these people, all of which present the elongated 

 form in question. For further details Dr. Morton referred to his 

 Crania Americana, and to the beautiful and instructive work of M. 

 D'Orbigny, entitled " L'Homme Americain, considere sous ses 

 rapports physiologiques et moraux." These works were at the 

 same time placed on the table for inspection and comparison.
