anterior termination of a rounded median ridge 16 mm. long. 

 There are two accessory posterior palatine foramina on each 

 side, those on the right side being larger than those on the left. 

 The fossfe between the pterygoid plates are shallow. On each 

 side a lower anterior portion is cut off from the rest by a 

 vertical septum. The vaginal process is not free on either 

 side. 



The posterior condylar fossa on each side is shallow. On the 

 right side there is a small foramen. The phai-yngeal tubercle 

 is not marked. On the anterior margin of the foramen 

 magnum a " third condyle " is represented by a concave 

 depression, the long or transverse diameter measuring 11 mm., 

 and the short or autero-posterior being 3 mm. 



Teeth. — The aveolar border is " arched " in form, the 

 posterior portions being somewhat elongated. The teeth 

 present are the lateral incisors, the canines, the second bicus- 

 pids, and the first right molar. The two incisors and the right 

 canine are hollowed out by caries ; the others are more or less 

 worn. Apparently there was a gap between the central 

 incisors. The right central had occupied the same socket as 

 the right laterals There is no trace of tlie wisdoms. The 

 measurements of the teeth in millimeters are as follows : —

The five remaining teeth are too imperfect to give accurate 

 measurements. The bicupids on both sides appear to have 

 been abnormal. 



The roof of the palate is 8 mm. above the level of the 

 alveolar bordei's. 



The sutures of tlie cranium are all oblitei'ated except the 

 parieto-sqnanious, the outer parts of the lanibdoid, and the 

 part of the sagittal between tbe bregma and the obelion.
