Latcham.—NOTES ON SOME ANCIENT CHILIAN SKULLS 159 
—— ANALISIS eee 
Some writers contend that America was originally, and always 
has been peopled by migrations from the old world ; presumably 
Asi, although some incline to Europe. 
The two special races to which this origin is referred ; are the 
Moguls and the dolicho-cephalic people that inhabited Europe 
during the stone Age. 
The Moguls are brachy-metrio-cephalic mesorhime, megaseme, 
and mesognathic; the Esquimaux dolicho-hypsi-akrocephalic, 
mesoseme, and prognathic. In all these points the two races 
differ radically. As regards the general ontline of the face, 
stature, & obliquity of the eyes, they resemble each othe, but 
therethe likeness ceases. 
The dolichocephalic races of Ancient Europe may be classed 
under two heads; the tall fair type of the north, and the short 
brunette of the sonth. With the latter we have nothing to-do. 
The former is known by many namethe Scandinavian, Canst- 
adt, Frisian, Row-grave etc, It is still found in some parts of 
Sweden, in the Danish isles, and in certain Frisian districts. 
This race was tall, dolicho-cephalic extremely platycephalic, 
with a low retreating brow and narrow forehead, narrow promi- 
nent nose, enormous orbital cavities, heavily marked supra- 
orbital ridges, prognathism greater in the lower jaw than in the 
upper and the occipital region highly developed. They had blue 
or gray eyes, fair abundant hair aud ample beards. 
It is difficult to reconcile this description to that of the Esqui- 
maux, who are in most details the direct contrary, being short, 
dark complexioned with very little hair on the face or body. 
We must then either abandon the theory that these latter are 
not autochthonous, or seek new affiniteis for them among other 
races, whose contrast will not be so marked, especially as the 
resemblance they bear to the Serena skulls would seem to 
indicate, that although the two branches must have heen 
separated in remote times; the racial type has even under 
changed conditions, remained remarkably constant.
