Abstract
ON page 484 of Figuier's work, “The Human Race,” the author speaks of the Mohawk Indians of the Rio Colorado, and on the opposite page reproduces M. Mollhausen's drawing of two Mojave Indians, as described in vol. iii. of Pacific R. R. Reports, by Messrs. Whipple, Ewbank, and Turner. As the Mohawk Indians of New York and the North-west are so totally distinct from the Colorado Mojaves, I thought it desirable to call attention to the error.
