Tune— ditto Language— ditto Comparison— small. Wit— ditto Causality— ditto Imitation— ditto The facial angle, 76°, the occipital, 82°. In this skull also, the propensities were large ; the moral sentiments larger than in the former, but the intellectual organs equally small. Destructiveness, secretiveness, and cautiousness, large — faculties, as I have remarked, necessary to a savage vi'arrior : the more refined sentiments, as benevolence, ideality, and conscientiousness were small, with nearly all the intellectual organs. In this man, also, the teeth were complete ; but the incisores not worn down, as in the former : their general regularity and good arrangement were greatly owing to the expanded state of the jaws, giving good space for their grovrth and shedding. In those persons who have sharp features, where the sides of the face meet at an acute angle, the teeth are often small ; or, if large, from want of room, they overlap each other, or push one another out of the natural positions. The broadness of the face and features is owing to the breadth of the base of the cranium, which gives shape and form to the bones of the face. With respect to the arms and legs of this man, I have only to remark, that they agreed exactly with those of the other, in the largeness of the thigh compared to the leg, breadth of the feet, and better proportion of the upper extremities. John Wilson, (d) Surgeon.
