UPPER JAW OF SKULL NO. I 



Present, the lower portion of the right maxilla from the alveolus 

 of the median incisor to the third molar. The bone is relatively rather 

 slender, not thicker than in modern skulls. There was evidently but 

 a moderate alveolar prognathism, comparable to that of many of the 

 skulls of the yellow-brown races of today. The lower border of the

 No. I. but measurements were impracticable. 



nasal aperture is well defined and slightly dull — not as sharp as in 

 whites, nor as dull as in some recent primitive skulls. The teeth are 

 in very close apposition ; and the Mi and M2 show already a distinct 

 obliquity of their transverse (linguo-labial) axis, which is character- 

 istic of and often carried further in modern whites. The palate was 

 evidently of about the average depth of today. The teeth of both 

 the upper and lower jaw show moderate to medium wear, the anterior 

 teeth being more worn than the molars.
