CRANIA AMERICANA, 



PLATE LXVI, LXVIL 



ARAUCANIAN CHIEF. 



These plates give two views of an Araucanian chief named Bampuni, who 

 was slain in an encounter with the Chilian army under General Bulnes, in 1 835. 

 The skull was obtained by my friend Dr. Casanova, who could only furnish the 

 above brief particulars in reference to it. It is a symmetrical head ; the frontal 

 region is lofty, but narrow, the w^hole posterior cranium is full, and the internal 

 capacity is not much short of the Caucasian mean. The details are so well 

 expressed on the accompanying plates, that it only remains to add the anatomical
