WITH reference to your note on M. Charles de Ujfalvy's recent article in l'Anthropologie (p. 323, ante), I may be allowed to call your attention to the ancient Korean practice of artificially deforming their heads, which was apparently similar to the method adopted by the Huns as well as the Huna kings of India. Thus, the Chinese “History of the Later Han Dynasty,” written in the fifth century, sub. “Eastern Barbarians,” says: “The people of Ma-Kan (in the south-western part of the Korean peninsula) wish their heads flat; so the head of every child just born they compress with stone to deform it.”
