by Dr. Tsebudi as an osteological feature peculiar to the Peruvians, 

 and is, he affirms, traceable in all the skulls of that race.

The table of measurements of skulls procured from Indian ceme- 

 teries to the north of Lakes Erie and Ontario, (Table II.) supplies 

 some, at least, of the elements essential to the formation of a sound 

 judgment on the question under consideration. It embraces twenty- 

 nine examples. To these I have added, in another table, (Table III.) 

 the corresponding measurements of the skull of the celebrated Mo- 

 hawk Chief, Joseph Brant, (Tayendanaga,) from a cast taken on the 

 opening of his grave, at the interment of his son, John Brant, in 

 1852, I have also further added, from the Crania Americana^ the 

 Iroquois aud Huron examples given there, which, it will be seen ? 

 agree in the main with the results of my own independent observa- 

 tions ; while a comparison of the two tables will be satisfactory to 

 those who may, not unnaturally, hesitate to adopt conclusions, based 



• Table II. — Of the crania referred to in this Table, Nos. 1 to 9 and No. 29, are in my own 

 possession. Nos. 10, 11, in the Museum of the Canadian Institute. Nos. 12, 13, Museum of 

 Toronto University. No. 14, Museum of Knox's College, Toronto. Nos. 15 to 21, in the col- 

 lection of Dr. Hodder, Toronto. Nos. 22 to 25, Museum of Trinity College, Toronto. No. 

 26, in the possession of Rev. John Gray, Orillia. Nos. 27, 28, in the collection of Profossor 

 Bovell, M.D., of Trinity College, Toronto.
