[In No. 1249 the singularly protuberant occiput projects far behind 

 the foramen magnum. Nos. 1255, 1550 and 1532 evidently belong 

 to the same peculiar type. These four heads resemble each other as 

 strongly as they differ from the remaining Swedes, Finns, Ger- 

 mans, and Kelts in the collection. They call to mind the kumbe- 

 kephalge, or boat-shaped skulls described by Prof. Wilson in his 

 Pre-liistoric Annals of Scotland. No. 1362, presents the same 

 elongated form. It differs from the four preceding skulls in being 

 larger, more massive, and broader in the forehead. Nos. 117, 1258, 

 and 1488 possess the true Swedish form as described above. Nos. 

 1545 and 1546 are broader, more angular, and less oval than the 

 tx'ue Swedish form. The horizontal portion of the occiput is quite 

 flat, and the occipital protuberance prominent. The three Suder- 

 manland Swedes have the same general form, while the three 

 Swedish Finns have a more squarely globular, and less oval cranium 

 than the true Swedes. In No. 121 the posterior region of the 

 calvaria is broader, and does not slope away so much. In general 

 configuration this cranium approaches the brachy-cephalic class of 

 Ketzius.]
