This is the intake record of John Collins Warren I's donation of the original twelve Morton casts to the Warren Anatomical Museum. It draws specific attention to the fact that Morton selected them for Warren as examples of "Typical Skulls." They were chosen to represent an entire race or geographic location from the crania collection curated by Morton.
