Their bare teeth, their short heads, and upturned nostrils give them the most ludicrous self-confident air of defiance imaginable.
Since my return, I have procured a skeleton head, through the kindness of my friend Captain Sulivan, R.N., which is now deposited in the College of Surgeons.

(8/1.

Mr.Waterhouse has drawn up a detailed description of this head, which I hope he will publish in some Journal.) Don F.Muniz, of Luxan, has kindly collected for me all the information which he could respecting this breed.

From his account it seems that about eighty or ninety years ago, they were rare and kept as curiosities at Buenos Ayres.

The breed is universally believed to have originated amongst the Indians southward of the Plata; and that it was with them the commonest kind.
