REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1887. 



Another method of carryiDg children is shown in Fig. 40. The wo. 



man the rerepresented is a Turkish Gypsy, 

 and the child has been placed in a ped- 

 dler's pack for convenience of carrying. 



The resources of the Museum do not 

 justify anything like an exhaustive treat- 

 ment of the eastern continent. In the 

 three figures shown (Figs. 43, 44, 45) we 

 see the Northern device, in which the 

 safety of the child from cold is the main 

 source of anxiety. The Japanese mother 

 is concerned partly with temperature and 

 partly with transportation. The African 

 mother consults transportation alone. 

 There is nothing in the ordinary treat- 

 ment of the child to occasion a deformity 

 of the cranium. Any change of the shape 

 Fi £- 43 - of the head must be attributed to congen-
