SKULL SHOWS ANCIENT
INDIAN SURGERY
Trephined Specimen Dug Up on
Site in Mexico by
Anthropologist.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, October 30.-Evidence
of what is believed to be the practice
of surgery on this continent several
thousand years before the era of the
Pueblo cliff dwellers has been re-
vealed by the discovery of an addi-
tional trephined skull near San Girls
tobal. Mexico.
Announcement was made by the
American Museum of Natural History
that a new skull, extremely long and
narrow and undeformed, quite the
opposite of the short-head type pre-
viously found in the Mexican district,
had been unearthed by DIR. L. R. Sui
1ivan, physical anthropologist, on
September %.
The skull has an oval hole, three
centimeters long and two centimeters
wide, showing that a wound had
made an operation necessary, and the
bone had been cut or scraped with a
sharp instrument, according to the
description forwarded to the museum
DIR. Sullivan said the patient un-
doubtedly died from the operation.
The discovery of trephined skulls
was first made by Earl H. Morris, the
museums explorer in New Mexico,
last August. Since then two other
skulls of similar type have been
found.
