belonging to the Reindeer Period, which was discovered by M. de Ferry at 

 Solutre", near M&con; and already fifty tombs, dating from this remote time, 

 have been explored. Amongst the human remains, which were all kindly 

 submitted to my examination, there are skulls of the Lappish and Finnish types 

 some the same as those of Cro-Magnon, one very nearly resembling the skull 

 of the Esquimaux at Behring's Strait, and one skull as truly Esthonian as any 

 known to us from Dorpat or Reval ; and, what is still more, all the bones of the 

 skeleton belonging to this last skull bear the vestiges of rachitism in a manner 

 which admits of no discussion. J. E. PRTJNER-BEY, Paris, August 18, 1868.
