PLATE LVI, 



SKULL FROM A TUMULUS AT SANTA, IN PERU. 



This cranium w^as obtained from a mound near the town of Santa, in Peru, 

 by Waters Smith, M. D., of the U. S. Navy, who kindly added it to my collection. 

 The body was found in a flexed or sitting posture, accompanied by a number of 

 vessels of baked clay, of fine workmanship and ingenious construction. One of 

 them, which is in my possession, is a quadruple vase with a single tubular mouth.
