connection, therefore, it is perhaps significant that the two Hope- 

 wellian skulls from the Veazey mound in Louisiana (Collins, 1941) 

 are intentionally deformed. Because of the deformity these skulls 

 cannot be compared directly with undeformed Hopewellian skulls 

 from elsewhere. However, there would seem to be good grounds for 

 regarding the Veazey site either as being fairly late or having acquired 

 early the custom of intentional deformity through proximity to the 

 center of origin of this custom. Wliether the slight lateral frontal 

 compression occasionally seen in the Kansas City Hopewellian skulls 

 has any connection with the mature custom as exhibited by the Veazey 

 skulls is uncertain.
