 [A general family resemblance pervades all these crania. They are 

 all, with one exception, remarkable for the smallness of the face, 

 and shortness of the head. In the Armenian skull, the forehead is 

 narrow but well formed, the convexity expanding upwards and 

 backwards towards the parietal protuberances, and laterally towards 

 the temporal bones. The greatest transverse diameter is between 

 the parietal bosses. This feature, combined with the flatness of 

 the occiput, gives to the coronal region an outline somewhat re- 

 sembling a triangle with all three angles truncated, and the base of 

 the triangle looking posteriorly. In fact, the whole form of the 

 calvaria is such as to impress the mind of the observer with a sense 

 of squareness and angularity. The dimensions of the orbits are 

 moderate; the malar bones small, flat, and retreating; the zygo- 

 matic processes slender, and the general expression of the face re- 

 sembling that of the Circassians, from which latter it difi"ers in 

 being shorter. The Persian head is less angular, the frontal region 

 broader, the occiput fuller, and the malar bones larger. The lower 

 jaw is small and rather round. The Afi"ghan skull resembles, in 

 several respects, the Hindoo type.] 



Groco-Egyptians. 



Nos. 798 to 804 are ancient Egyptians from the necropolis of Mem- 

 phis, north-west of the Pyramid of Five-Steps, viz : 



1. 798. Pelasgic or Graeco-Egyptian form. F. A. 80. I. C. 84. 

 Crania JEgyptiaca, plate 3, fig. 6. 



Under "this name I embrace all those crania that conform to the 

 highest Caucasian type. The Egyptian or Nilotic form includes the 

 pure Egyptian race. The Negroid form expresses that mixture 

 of the Egyptian and Negro in which the latter predominates. See 

 Crania JEgyptiaca, passim. 



2. 799. Pelasgic form: man, oetat. 35. F. A. 82. I. C. 87. Cra- 

 nia iEgyptiaca, plate 8, fig. 4. 



3. 801. Pelasgic form : woman, setat. 25. 



4. 804. Pelasgic form : girl, zetat. 12. Crania J3gyptiaca, plate 

 3, fig. 3.
