SKULL FROM A TUMULUS AT SANTA, IN PERU.
This cranium was obtained from a mound near the town of Santa, in Peru,
by Waters Smith, M. D., of the U.S. Navy, who kindly added it to my collection.
The body was found in a flexed or sitting posture, accompanied by a number of
vessels of baked clay, of fine workmanship and ingenious construction. One of
them, which is in my possession, is a quadruple vase with a single tubular mouth.
