PLATE XLYIII.
CLICKITAT.
Clickitat skull, from the Columbia river, sent me by Mr. Townsend. It is
greatly flattened on the frontal region, and irregular in its proportions. It is also
remarkable for the remains of an extensive fracture, commencing above the middle
of the left parietal hone, and extending downwards to the base of the skull. This
fracture has been followed by evident depression of the hone, and yet the cicatrization
has been complete.
