TUMULI OF THE CHALK RANGE. 



[ Eead at the Museum, November 27, 1860. ] 

 Continued from p. 163. 



Dr. Thumliam has kindly supplied me with the following 

 craniological memoranda of the skulls which are phrenolo- 

 gically described in a foot note at p. 158. 



1. From the Ulicell baiTow, is that of a male of the age of 



70, or more: very remarkable for size and great 

 broadth: great erosion of the teeth. It is probably 

 Anglo-Saxon, but the great breadth is exceptional. 



2. From the same barrow, is a of skeleton which was 



doubled up: a male of perhaps 60 years, — a marked 

 example of an Ancient British skull. 



3. From Pimfield, is the skull of a young person about 15 : 



very remarkable for its sliort form. He thinks this to 

 be "probably that of an Ancient Briton," but it will 

 be seen, by referring to (p. 161,) that the deposition 

 of the skeleton was Anglo-Saxon. 



4. From the same barrow, a skeleton which was doubled ■ 



up: a male of the ago of 60, or more. Doubtlesa 

 of an Aucient Briton.
