PERUVIAN FROM THE TEMPLE OF THE SUN. 



'lKT ^^ 



Also from Pachacamac, through the zeal and friendship of Dr. Ruschenberger. 

 Here again the parietal and longitudinal diameters are nearly equal. The 

 posterior and lateral swell of this cranium are very remarkable, and the vertex 

 has the characteristic prominence. The cheek bones, though high, are not heavy, 

 and there is a pleasing symmetry in the various parts of the face. The beauty 

 and accuracy of the drawing require nothing to be added excepting the
