So, again, if the so-called Mon- golian group be surveyed, it will be found that the peculiarities of the pyramidal skull are often softened down, so as to present an approach to the elliptical form, sometimes through the whole of certain races, occasion- ally only in individuals. Here, too, there is a tendency to an admixture of types ; for we find among the American nations a very gradual transition from the truly pyramidal, such as is seen in the Esquimaux (Jig. 820), Fig. 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 Todd, Robert Bentley, 1809-1860.
