F, frontal. one of the objects sought by this observance, the even balance of the head when thus treated being, of course, most desirable. This latter skull presents the smallest of the perforations which I have as yet seen ; this as exhibited in Fig. 8 is but little more than one-third of an inch in Artificially-perforated skull from Great Mound, Rouge River, Michigan, (No. G,) one- fourth size. The numbers (No. 1, No. G) appended to these figures refer to the numerical order of these skulls in the "Table giving the dimensions of crania from the Great Mound at the Rouge Kiver," and which forms a part of the paper to which I have already referred. They are used in this connection for the convenience of those who shall have access to the Report of the American Association for Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Smithsonian Institution.
