A Peruvian Mummy In Chicago.

At q meeting Of the Chicago Academy Of Scien.
ces last wefk, DR.. Norman Bridge read paper on
a Peruvian mummy now In possession Of the Aca-
deny. This mummy, with many others, was
thrown up BY the commissions Of the earthquake
near ATica, asst year. They had been buried 10
the sand in sitting posture, facing the SEA, In q
cemetery fbveriDg quite an extent of surface.
Most Of theth were described "a having been found
with their Hands either crossed their breasts or
held up, AT it were, by the side of the head, and
history says they were wrapped In several thick.
nesses Of CLOTH and had mats thrown over them.
This specimen is OF interest as showing some
points of difference, and in the opportunity it
gives OF studying the skull and certain artificial
defoTmities Of ii. In this case the hands are
found with The feet placed In front OF and beneath
the body, and the head is believed to be more
bowed forward than is usual. No cloth or other
bandages can certainly be made out, but two pins
we're found7-Hf pattern unlike any now made
in the mass IN the region Of the pelvs, indicating
that part &c have been covered. Il was the per.
son of female, probably OF full sdult age having,
from the appearance Of the mAmmary glands,
doubtless borne. The hair is jet black, parted in
the middle, aud tsstefully braided down In front.
II erect the body would be Eve feet two inches
in height breadth of shoulders one foot /; breadth
of hips ten and one-half inches capacity of brain
cavity seveLty-five cubic inches. Exact measure.
ment of the skull and the remaining exterior
structure ware made, from which, says DR.. Bridge,
il will be seen that the skull is much contracted in
its aneropSsterior diameter, this being greater
than its trsiEyerse. On the back il Is noticeably
deficient, asjn some degree are the sides near the
vertex, mating the skull in its form somewhat
pyramidsl. This appearance is undoubtedly sn
artificial distortion, produced in infancy and child
hood.
The age Of the specimen Dr.. Bridge could not
tell, but he should presume il was less than two
hundred yeafs, as Spanish travellers in the early
part of the sixteenth century found natives with
heads compressed Ike this, and there can be
little doubt that in the sands of that hot and rain
less coast BODY would keep in as good condition
as this, or nearly so, for much longer time.
Some discussion ensued as to the physical char
acteristics Of the mummy and its probable age,
Prof. Blateksord being Of the opinion, Judging
from the shape Of the brass pins found with it
which were similar 70 those manufactured in this
country ten cr twenty years ago-thst its age was
