CRANIA AMERICANA, 



PLATE XLVIIL 



CLICKITAT. 



Clickitat skull, from the Columbia river, sent me by Mr. Townsend. It is 

 greatly flattened on the frontal region, and irregular in its proportions. It is also 

 remarkable for the remains of an extensive fracture, commencing above the middle 

 of the left parietal bone, and extending dow^n wards to the base of the skull. This 

 fracture has been foUovsred by evident depression of the bone, and yet the cicatri- 

 zation has been complete.
