CRANIA AMERICANA. 



PLATE XXXVIII 



PAWNEE. 



This head appears to have been that of a female, and was brought from the 

 Platte river, about tw^o hundred miles from its junction v^ith the Missouri, by the 

 expedition under Major Long to explore the Rocky Mountains. I am indebted 

 to Mr. T. R. Peale for permission to use it on this occasion, which I do with the 

 more interest because it is the only Pawnee skull I have seen.
