coloured, but more laborious. If we strip the chiefs of the dandy European dresses, and the ladies of their China silks, they will all appear inferior to the Tahitians in wearing apparel. The houses, with the floors covered with numerous mattings, are decidedly cleaner to all appearance; yet I suspect the swarms of fleas point out too clearly that little care is taken in airing these mats, which serve at once as carpet and bedding. “The moral character of this people is probably sufficiently painted in Cook's, Vancouver's, and other voyages The particular cranial development differs in probably the majority, by the greater extent of the superior region, the lateral surfaces sloping inwards and downwards. The head, too, often assumes an oblong form, not unlike the Gothic Scotch. The crania which you have procured from these islands may not show these peculiarities. "We left the Hawaisan (as now called) Islands on the 1st June, and arrived in the Bay of Avatscha on the 29th, where I only saw one Kamschatkadale, whose head was so buried in an immense bush of black hair, that it was in vain to search for general form or particular organization. 1 "At the St. Lawrence Islands I had only some minutes' time to view, at a short distance, the figures of the natives, who agreed in general with those of Kotzebue Sound, and of the American coast farther north. They are evidently an Esquimaux race, but much superior in stature and features to those on the European shores. Their hibernal retreat is generally a considerable village of half-subterranean huts, roofed with wood covered with turf. These became more frequent to the N. E. of Icy Cape to the World's End, the utmost limit of Mr Elson's progress in the barge. "The carvings and etchings, if they may be so called, on ivory and bone, of the figures of their most familiar objects, -themselves, their dogs, boats, seals, rein-deer, walrus, and other animals, their dances, with attendant musicians, &c. -the small ivory images of themselves, are perfectly charac teristic of their general likeness.-The dead are deposited in 1.
