We have a cast of the entire head of this American Indian, and it correspondsclosely with the form of the brain here represented. It is obvious that the absolute sizeof the brain (although probably a few ounces less in the American) might be the same in both ;and yet, if different portions manifest different mental powers, the characters of the indi-viduals, and of the nations to which they belonged (assuming them to be types of the races),might be exceedingly different.
