EXHIBIT AT THE COTTON STATES EXPOSITION. 615 



Catlin, and represents the war chief at the time of his greatest power. 



Beyond the archway attention was first attracted by a series of cos- 

 tumed figures, which were arranged on the sides of the main hall at the 

 entrance to the alcoves. These were intended to illustrate the physical 

 characters and the ethuical costumes of twelve of the most character- 

 istics types of the human species. The costumes, most of which were 

 now exhibited for the first time, had been collected by the explorers 

 and correspondents of the institution, and the figures, in sculptor's 

 plaster, have been modeled either from life or from abundant material 

 in the Museum, under the superintendence of Professor Mason and the 

 immediate direction of Dr. Walter Hough. Each of the four divisions 

 of mankind was represented by three figures. 



Although dispersed through the entire exhibit, their relation to each 

 other is so intimate that they are here grouped together. Their 

 sequence is indicated by the large numbers above the cases.
