The American Antiquarian, Vol. vir, No. 3, May, 1885. This

ought never to have been written, and in its notes is far above 
the average. The original papers are as follows: 
Stone graves—the work of the Indians, by Cyrus Thomas (third paper). 
The oe god of the Algonkins in his character as a cheat and a liar, by Daniel G,

tallest man reached 1.660 meters, and the tallest woman 1.577 
meters. Although the inhabitants of this district are few in 
number, the size of the families seems to show that they are not

engaged in the various occupations of their simple life, add value 
to the collection. Every female of two years of age and upward
