and the country around Cape Horn, are the tallest people in 
the world, the average height of the men being seven feet. 
The material for the group was collected under Prof. Holmes’ 
directions by Mr, Hatcher, who made a journey to this out of 
the way corner of the world, spending about a year among the 
natives. The group shows a young man about seven feet tall, 
with a robe of skins thrown about his shoulders and a ”bolas TT 
in his right hand. A stuffed and mounted piebald pony of the 
breed found all over the pampas, stands in the center of the 
case. Mounted on the pony is a squaw, receiving a bundle of 
guanaco skins from a little girl who is handing them up to her. 
A few feet beyond is a cradle containing a papoose; near by a 
young girl is engaged in wrapping up a bundle of blankets and 
guanaco skins, while a boy about twelve years of age stands on 
the extreme right, in the act of teasing a rhea, or South Ameri 
can ostrich. Prof. Holmes has depicted the savages in this 
group in the act of moving or breaking camp. 
"The group of Mojave Indians is also interesting. It 
shows a camp scene with one of the old warriors teaching the 
young boys how to use the bow and arrow*, while women and girls 
are pounding corn, making tortillas, and performing other house 
* 
hold functions. 
"So lifelike are these groups that children visiting the 
museum with their parents invariably steer clear of the case 
containing the Eskimo group, thinking the wolfish-looking dogs

are alive.
