l88 SMITHSONIAN MISCELLANEOUS COLLECTIONS VOL. 83 



The skeletons are generally known as No. i and No. 2. To No. i 

 Fraipont and Lohest attributed : 



A vault of a skull ; 



Two portions of the upper jaw, with the three right molars, the two right pre- 

 molars, the left canine and left lateral incisors ; 



A nearly complete lower jaw, with all (16) of its teeth; 



The left clavicle; 



Right humerus, which has lost its upper epiphysis, and the shaft of the left 

 humerus ; 



Left radius, without lower epiphysis ; 



The proximal extremities of the two ulnae ; 



The nearly entire right femur ; 



Complete left tibia ; and. 



The right calcaneum. 



The parts attributed by the two authors to the second subject are : 



The vault of a skull ; 



Two portions of the upper jaw with twelve teeth; 



Two fragments of the lower jaw with the molar teeth; 



Loose teeth belonging to the lower jaw; 



Fragments of the scapulae of two humeri without upper extremities ; 



The shaft of the right radius ; 



The proximal two-thirds of the left femur ; 



The left calcaneum ; and 



The left astragalus. 



Besides the above, there are 7 vertebrae, a right patella, 24 frag- 

 ments of ribs, and 1 1 bones of hands and feet, with some pieces, about 

 which it seemed impossible to say to which skeleton they belonged. 



A repeated critical examination of the specimens leaves a serious 

 doubt as to the accuracy of the above distribution. No photographs 

 or sketches were made on the spot ; the bones were not marked, 

 and have evidently become mixed up, their distribution being de- 

 cided upon later. The specimens indicate very strongly different 

 relations. The right femur, the tibia, and the two stronger ulnae do 

 not harmonize with the relatively weak arm bones and clavicle of 

 No. I. They harmonize perfectly, on the other hand, with the bones 

 of the male skeleton No. 2 and must, the writer feels, be attributed to 

 this skeleton. The true identification of the parts appears to be as 

 given on page 189. 



This identification removes many difficulties, makes the material 

 much more intelligible, and the deductions on it of more value. Strong 

 evidence for the correctness of this reclassification is offered by both 

 the femur and the tibia that were attributed to skeleton No. i. Skull 

 No. I, as is shown by its sutures and by the teeth, belongs to a fully
