DESCRIPTION OF THE PLATES.

thé cranium^ êhBrhctey|fi'c',‘öf thé‘Indo-AtPaii tic, by Blumenbach
terrfied'1 Oâucasian;'%àtib'iîS^ - ‘■The1 skull’ from Whfeh this engraving
was taken’was that named' Constantine Demetriades,
“à native of Cbr-fu*, who wàs long known at Oxford, where he was a
te'acher of th^’hiodefn'“Creek langtfe^&f 'The cranium is now in the
î’mus’eüttï of Mr. Richard ‘Smith, àt the Bristol infirmary. The

fjjjg^Mr. Pentland ffdm the valley of Titicaca, in-the highlands of
Peru. Itfcan’nOt be-déiïMed that thé peculiar shape of this skull is
produced by^tificiabrrfeam^? viz. by pressure on the forehead, applied
during%n early period, and lorigt'diBlitinned. The skull of the
Flat-head IndiansTn North America are modified in a vei*y similar
ma'nner^’“thóhgh not td^Iff samé^dé^éè,' as aiiy pèrson may be conr
vinced by examining one of thé crànià belofigii^gHo that face, of
which there is a specimen in the collection at5 Guy’s Hospital. The
skull from which this figure was taken is that in the museum of the
’College of Surgeons. For an opportunity of obtaining , it I am
indebted to the kindness of the curator, the able and distinguished
anatomist, Mr. Owen.
Figs. 3, 4, 5, 6, 7y^, are specimens of that form of the cranium
which I have termed Prognathous, & e. having the maxilla, and
especially.the alvëolar portion, remarkably prominent.. This is
expressed by a term which is formed similarly to xpoj(6iXoc as used by
Lucian. The four first figures belong to woolly-haired, the last four
to straight-haired races of blacks.
