full of holes : thus rendered useless no one will 

 steal them. Scattered on the ground are flint im- 

 plements once used by the Indians, and the three 

 skulls before spoken of. The one to the left is 

 that of the chief, brought from Fort Rupert 

 (vide trip to Fort Rupert, Vol. I.), showing 

 the effect of circular pressure ; the middle one is 

 an unaltered head from the Upper Columbia; 

 whilst that on the left shows the effect of flat- 

 tening the forehead.
