PLATE XXXIV.
POTOWATOMIE.
A skull of a genuine Potowatomie, of whose history, however, nothing is
known. It is remarkable for its capacity behind the ears, and for the great length
and flatness of the coronal region. I received it from my friend Dr. Walker, of
the United States Army, who obtained it while stationed in Michigan, which is
the native seat of this tribe.
