Prof Osborne calls therein attention to the factthat Mr. Holmes suggests the Nebraskan finds as of theBlackfeet Indian type of cranium. If the crania of theNorth American Indians have developed into types andthe skull of a Delaware can be distinguished from that ofan Iroquois, and those of Canada from those of Texas, hasnot the Indian been on the continent a long time that suchdifferentiation should have been brought about?
