Three Naloo Negro Skulls.

The Naloo crania are larger than the Ashantee and Congo 

 crania. And the Naloo marked B is larger than A and C. 



It need scarcely be remarked that a much greater number 

 of crania must be measured in order to obtain an average 

 before we are justified in asserting that the Naloo negroes 

 have larger brains than the Congo and Ashantee negroes. 



TABLE of Measurements of European crania of men, comprising 3 

 English crania of unknown persons ; 1 also, Julien Hibhert, an 

 English gentleman of fortune ; 2 Highlanders of Scotland , viz . , 

 King Robert Bruce and the poet Burns; and 1 German, viz., Dr 

 Spurzheim. 



The measurements of the six negro crania exhibit a less 

 capacity for the brain than is found in European crania. It 

 may be objected that these measurements will not enable us 

 to ascertain with exactness the solid contents of the cranium, 

 and that therefore the value of our comparison will be dimi- 

 nished. The measurements are not intended for that pur- 

 pose, but they are sufficient to enable us to compare the sizes 

 of crania. The smaller measurements of the negi'o crania 

 are in harmony with Tiedemann's researches. He gives 

 tables of the respective weights of millet seed, which was
