another runs downward and forward from the inner end of the 

 condyle. These two meet in a plain V in front of the neural foramen, 

 midway between this and the anterior border of .the ramus, where 

 they form a pronovmced single elevation that runs downward and 

 forward to merge with the mylohyoid ridge. These several ridges 

 leave in front, within the V, and esi^ecially behind the latter, marked 

 hollows. All these features may be found represented more or less in 

 the jaws of present man ; but jointly and so highly developed, they 

 occur only in the large anthropoid apes. The sigmoid notch is shallow, 

 though less so than in the Mauer jaw.

 representatives of Neanderthal man. Its closest relations, particularly
