OR, A TREATISE ON PILE. 59 
2d. Of the inclination of the Hairs of the Body and Members.—Hypogastric hairs have 
no determinate inclination ; the hair of the navel inclines towards it; those anterior to the 
breasts and of the back descend ; those of the neck incline upwards, while those of the 
members, generally, incline downwards; with the exception of those of the forearm, most 
of which incline towards the elbow. 
Inchnation of the Hair of the lover Animals.—A ‘Treatise upon Milch Cows, recently 
published by M. Francis Guenen, wherein the quality and quantity of the milk they will 
give, &c., is said to be determined by certain natural marks, contains some very curious 
remarks in respect to the ¢nclination of their hair. 
Tue CLAssiFicaTion or PILE or THE HEaD.—By the application of the foregoing laws, 
we will find no difficulty in separating pile of the head into three distinct classes, viz: 
1. Hair that is in shape cylindrical, in direction straight and lank, and in inclination at 
an acute angle. ? 
2. Hair that is in shape oval, in direction flowing or curling, and in inclination at an 
acute angle. 
3. Wool that isin shape eccentrically elliptical, in direction crisp or frizzled, and in 
inclination at a right angle. 
Or THE CLASSIFICATION OF Man BY THE PiLe oF THE Heap.—Having shown that there 
are three distinct species of pile of the head, if we can prove that there are three portions 
of men who now exist, and who from time immemorial have existed, the covering of whose 
heads, respectively, do, and have, uniformly, corresponded with these three species of pile, 
there will be no difficulty in pronouncing that (judging from the pile of their heads) 
they belong to three distinct species of men. 
Ist. Of the Pile of the present American Indians.—We have, in our cabinet of national 
pile, the largest number and most carefully collected specimens in existence of hair of the 
head of the present American Indians of the pure blood, these we have examined with the 
utmost care and attention, and find them to be cylindrical. 
2d. We invoke the aid of the law above laid down, viz: “that a hair that is cylindri- 
cal hangs straightly and lankly from the head, and that hair that hangs straightly and 
lankly must be cylindrical.” ‘This being admitted, enables us from the numerous descrip- 
tions of the American Indian hair, from the earliest discovery of this Continent, (all of 
which represent them as having straight, lank hair,) to pronounce that they have, for all 
that time, been cylindrical. 
3d. Of Mound and Mummy American Indian Pile—But we are enabled to trace this 
character to a much earlier date. We have, in our cabinet, the finest known collection of 
American mound and mummy hair, to which we call particular attention, as they establish 
the antiquity and uniformity of this species of men. 
No. 1. Examination and Description of hair and a portion of scalp from the skull of a 
young American Indian, supposed to be a female of about ten years old, from Pachacamack, 
Temple of the Sun, five leagues from Lima, South America.—'Vhis cemetery has not been
