This chart shows that the affective, or feeling faculties, prevail over the intellectual, 

 in the proportion of 4.3 to 3.9 ; and the several groups of organs are developed in 

 the following order : 



Propensities

Whether these figures can be relied upon as indicating the character and disposi- 

 tion of the individual to whom the skull belonged, may be doubted ; though it will 

 be perceived that their indications correspond with the general character of the 

 aborigines, in the large cautiousness, individuality, &c., and the deficient construc- 

 tiveness, calculation, &c. 



But few implements, ornaments, or works of art of any kind, have been discovered 

 in the mounds of Wisconsin, that could not be traced to recent Indian burials ; and 

 yet it is certain that had they been originally deposited, they would still be found 

 there. The stone axes, flint arrow-heads, and articles of pottery, are of a durable 

 character, and could not have decayed since the erection of the mounds. Hence, 

 we conclude that the more ancient mound-builders of Wisconsin were not in the 

 habit of making such deposits. 



The tumulus opened by me at Waukesha (See Chapter II, page 28) contained 

 a stone pipe, another of burned clay, and fragments of two vases. These were of 

 the same general kind and composition as the pipes and pottery of the Indians 

 so frequently turned up by the plough.
