IN NOVA SCOTIA. I'KEST. 



kit l>eing approximately correct it will show some of the points 

 mi which new evidence from Nova Scotia would be welcomed. 



It will be seen from the foregoing table that the mound- 

 builders and the Eskimo occupy extreme positions, the first 

 being pronounced round-heads, while the last are just as pro- 

 nounced long-heads. Xext to the mound builders come the 

 present Indians of the United States ami Mexico; then follow 

 the historic Iroquois and Kurons and the prehistoric inhabitants 

 of the New England coast and Mexico, who seem to have some 

 affinities with the Iroquois. There is in fact much evidence to 

 show that the Algonkin invasion overran a former Long-headed 

 population somewhat closely related to the Huron-Iroquois 

 race, and to which the Cherokees also belonged. Then on the 

 islands off the south coast of California we find prehistoric 

 cemeteries full of skulls of a race fully as long-headed as the 

 Eskimo. At Sangns, Mass., as well as in the Florida shell- 

 heaps, skulls have been found resembling those of California.
