And this skull (Fig. 32G) was ob-tained at Icy Cape, the northwest extremity of America, and is marked, from A. Oollie,Esq., Surgeon of II. ship Blossom. Nothing can be more obvious than the contrast between these Eskimaux heads and thoseof all other tribes of this continent. They are the only people in America who present thecharacters of an Asiatic race; and, being bounded closely on the south by genuine abori-gines, they seem placed here as if to give a practical illustration of the irrefragable distinct-ness of races ; together with an example, that modifications of human types are independentof any physical causes but direct amalgamation.
