skulls has differed individually, in height, in breadth and other char- 

 acters ; and there is much of interest in this connection about the jaws 

 and the teeth. 



Of particular interest is the evident disposition of the Krapina 

 crania towards brachycephaly, which thus far has not been known 

 in early skulls. There have been some objections to the restoration 

 of these s])eciniens ; the prejudice that could readily be created thus 

 would be unjustified. The pieces that com{X)se skull C appear clearly 

 to belong to that skull, and those of D fit too well to involve any 

 serious errors. An independent examination of the Krapina remains 

 leaves no doubt but that they represent skulls both broader and shorter 

 than those of the western Neanderthalers. 



Gorjanovic-Kramberger's opinion that more than one race of men 

 is represented at Krapina cannot be sustained ; the low jaws and 

 weak bones are plainly those of females. 



Adding to the variations and peculiarities of the Krapina skulls, 

 jaws, and teeth, those of the skeletons, and contrasting the whole 

 with what is known of the corresponding parts in the western Nean- 

 derthalers, it is plain that the Krapina man, while of the same general 

 family, differs sufificiently to be regarded as a subtype which on the 

 whole was morphologically somewhat more advanced towards later 

 man. This is difficult to harmonize with a supposed greater age of 

 the Krapina remains. Possibly he lived later than supposed, or he 

 belonged to a more progressive group.
