Utensils Also Found.

Los Angeles.-Revealing either a
race of hitherto unknown pygmies. or
the ostracizing of the unfit by the
aborigines of the Pacific coast, 30
strange malformed skulls and other
interesting remains have been dug up
near here by De Moss Bowers and

Whether the relics are OF pygmies
or primitive form of eugenics is a
question can't answer said Mr.
Bowers. The skulls are by far the
smallest that | have encountered in
80 years of excavating for indian re
mains in California. The malforma

these were the skulls of the unfit the

tracized. or those of pygmies. I can
answer another question. 1t is that
these are the skulls of fully grown
men and women. The maturity OF
the teeth shows this.
In the grave we found ollas or
cooking bowls of steatite. serpentine
bowls. and knives OF ebert, affixed to
redwood handles by asphaltum. Now
steatite is found only on Santa Cata-

pentine are known outside OF San

so far as we know, did not. 1t might
be that we have here strange iso

Copper vessels of Spanish work

was about 500 per cent, but this did
not, as you may think, represent an
imposition on the natives, since my
own posts were far in the interior, and

product out to transportation. One of
my routes of travel was by the many
lagoons and rivers which indent the
Venezuelan coast, by means of which
men in canoes can penetrate far into
the interior of that wild region The
Guawoona country was at the end of a
considerable chain of lagoons. and
