THE ARAUCANIANS,

PLATE LXVIII, 



ARAUCANIAN CHIEF. 



This is the cranium of another Araucanian chief named Chilicoi, who was 

 killed in the same battle with the subject of the preceding plate. I received it 

 also from Dr. Casanova, who could give no additional particulars. The eye is 

 struck with the projecting face and consequent small facial angle, the low fore- 

 head, the flattened vertex, and the smallness of the whole head.

The three Araucanian skulls in my collection give a mean internal capacity 

 of seventy-nine cubic inches, which is much more than that of the Peruvians, and 

 a little less than the average of the collective American race. The mean facial 

 angle gives barely seventy-five degrees.
