the other may be said to be mesocephalic. In No. 138 the occipital protuber- 

 ance is well marked , in No. 139 this protuberance is nearly obliterated. 



Three crania from Quivira and Quarra, New Mexico, (Nos. 1032, 1033 and 

 1034), are brachycephalic. The occiput in all is more or less flattened, but 

 most decidedly in No. 1032. 



A Pueblo craDium (No. 930) is dolichocephalic with shelving occipital flat- 

 ness. Another Pueblo skull (No. 937) is short, high, and non-symmetrical. 



A skull from Santa Fe (No. 931) is a short, asymmetrical and occipitally 

 flattened head. 



No. 1346, the skull probably of an ancient tribe of Lipan Indians, from the 

 celebrated, sepulchral cavern of Bolson de Massimi, between San Sebastian 

 and San Lorezo, in the State of Durango, New Mexico, is a long, oval head, 

 with a very prominent occiput. No. 1345, the cranium of a modern Lipan, is 

 shorter and has a somewhat more rounded occiput. 



The skull of a very young Apache child (No. 141) is dolichocephalic, and in 

 its general form very much like the Utah cranium, No. 140. No. 145, the skull 

 of a Mescalero Apache Indian, from the Desert of Black Hills, Texas, recently 

 added to the collection, is a long oval and very symmetrically formed head, with 

 protuberant occipital and parietal protuberances. It also resembles No. 140. 

 No. 1035, the skull of a Mescalero Chief, is an oblong, barrel-shaped head with 

 a rounded occiput and broad base. No. 935, a Mogoyon Apache, is a long, 

 high head, very broad between the mastoid processes. No. 936, the cranium 

 of a Navajo Indian, is a long, ponderous, broadly oval head with a broad base, 

 a broad, high and almost vertical forehead, and a flattened posterior region. 

 In its general form it resembles somewhat Nos. 1446 and 1448 of the Shoshoni 

 group. 



No. 247 is the skull of a Camanche Indian, supposed to be that of " Yellow 

 Wolf," head chief of his nation. It was found in a very conspicuous tomb, in 

 a large Indian burial ground, on the head-waters of the Colorado River, near 

 the deserted Fort Phantom Hill, Texas. It is a dolichocephalic cranium, of the 

 arched type. 



No. 34, a Mexican Indian from Acapancingo, eighteen leagues south of 

 Mexico, and referred by Morton to the Tlahuica tribe, is a dolichocephalic, 

 prognathic female skull. 



No. 734, a male skull exhumed near the Indian village of Guahapan, on the 

 mountain Popocatapetl, is mesocephalic and broadly oval. No. 735, a female 

 skull found with the preceding, is a long head of the arched type. These two 

 crania were regarded by Dr. Morton as probable examples of the ancient Aztec 

 nation. 



Three skulls from an ancient cemetery at Otumba differ in form; Nos. 714, 

 a male, and 716, a female, are dolichocephalic. The first, however, forms a 

 broad oval, while the second belongs to the arched type. No. 715 is brachy- 

 cephalic and globular. 



Nos. 717, 718 and 720 are ancient Mexican crania from Tacuba. The first 

 belongs to the arched, the second to the cubical, and the third to the broadly 

 oval type. The first two have pyramidal faces. No. 718 is brachycephalic and 

 carinated also. Nos. 717 and 720 are dolichocephalic. 



The Otomie skulls are, for the most part, dolichocephalic. No. 1323, the 

 cranium of Vicente Rivaz, an Ottomie Cazique of the pure Mexican race, is a. 

 narrow oval in form. No. 1001 is arched. No. 1002 is phoxocephalic, with a 

 very protuberant occiput. 



No. J 004, the skull of an ancient Mexican of the Tlascalan nation, is bra- 

 chycephalic and globular. 



No. 1005, a woman of the Chechemecan nation is mesocephalic and arched. 



No. 681, a Mexican woman of the Pames tribe, is intermediate between the 

 long and short heads, and is phoxocephalic. Another female skull of the same 

 tribe, No. 1313, is a broadly oval dolichocephalus. 



No. 1314, exhumed from an ancient cemetery at Cerro de Quesilas, near the
