of its shape. A long cranium, the norma verticaUs not elhptical 

 nor ovoid, because the sides are straight, a sHght swelhng of the 

 parietal protuberances situated very far back, and the occipital 

 resembling a quadrangular pyramid, leaning slightly on its cranial 

 base. The cranium is high on the side, the forehead vertically 

 inclined, but a little elevated; the arch is on the horizontal plane, 

 abruptly inclined at the summit of the occipital pyramid, the 

 extremity or protuberance of the occipital level. It has quite a 

 large capacity. The types given here are derived (Fig. 27) from 

 the Russian Kourgans, (Fig. 28) from modern Sicily.

13th. LoPHOCEPHALic {lopJioceplialus) (Figs. 29, 30). 



This variety has a conspicuous trait not seen from the norma 

 verticalis nor norma lateralis, but from the norma facialis and the 

 norma occipitalis. This is, as shown in Figs. 29 and 30, the median 

 eminence extending from the forehead to the sagittal. This emi7 

 nence, which I call lophus {lophos), and which is described by 

 other anthropologists as " crania with the arch of the backbone of 

 an ass," or ^' arch Hke the keel of a ship," commences in the upper 

 part of the frontal, at the place where the frontal curve first 

 becomes horizontal. It is an elevation of the median portion, 

 with lateral depressions amounting to a slight concavity, which 

 reaches the coronal, the highest part of the eminence and surpasses 

 it, invading the sagittal, where it terminates at the apex of the 

 triangle, gradually disappearing.
