3. 764. Circassian man, aetat. 40. F. A. 78. I. C. 90. 



Circassian (764). 

 [The calvaria of No. 764 is well developed and regularly arched, and 

 in size considerably exceeds the face. The proportions between the 

 vertical, transverse, and longitudinal diameters are such as to con- 

 vey to the eye an impression of harmony and regularity of structure. 

 The high and broad forehead forms with the parietal region a con- 

 tinuous and symmetrical convexity. The occiput is full and pro- 

 minent. The face is strongly marked ; the orbits moderate in size ; 

 the nasal bones prominent ; the malar bones small and rounded ; 

 the teeth vertical ; the maxillae of medium size, and the chin pro- 

 minent. The fulness of the face, its oval contour, and general 

 want of angularity, decidedly separate this head from the Mongo- 

 lian type, as represented by the Kalmuck skull. No. 1553.]
