178 REPORT ON AN ADDITIONAL COLLECTION OF SKELETAL 
The non-deformed skulls, it is seen, besides being rounded, are all relatively 
high, in which respect they further resemble those from Arkansas and Jefferson 
counties, described in last year’s report; and there can be no doubt that they belong 
to the same general group of people. From additional material in the National 
Museum, it appears that the same type prevailed also in Drew and Mississippi 
counties, Arkansas. 
The deformed specimens show varying grades of compensation in breadth and 
height for the artificially diminished оне the skull acting under the process 
much like an elastic bag filled with liquid. The several deformed crania which 
permit the discernment of a more oblong type represent doubtless a mixture of the 
above, dominant, with a strong additional tribal element. Similar oblong heads 
occur also in parts of Drew and Mississippi counties. Furthermore, from Pecan 
Point, and from near Bardstone, in the latter county, there are extant individual 
non-deformed skulls, of an unknown period, presenting the type of the eastern and 
southeastern Algonquian crania. 
Szze.—The principal dimensions of the crania from Boytt's Field agree fairly 
well with those observed in the skulls from the Menard and Greer cemeteries, but
