APT. 24 CATALOGUE OF HUMAN CRANIA — -HEDLICKA 6 



A large majority of the specimens here given have been measured or 

 are reported upon for the first time. In other cases, especially with 

 the Tasmanians, the crania have been worked over previously, in some 

 instances more than once; but details and especially uniformity were 

 generally lacking. 



The measurement of cranial capacity could, regrettably, not be 

 taken, due to lack of necessary apparatus. In estunating this it 

 should be borne in mind that the Australian skull is on the average 

 very perceptibly thicker than that of the white man.*
