especially iu skulls from the chambered long-ban-ows of Wilts, Gloucester, 

 and Somerset. (See the description of the skull from Uley, in Crania 

 Britannica, Plate 5.) 



No. 6. Frontal and facial bones and lower jaws (all imperfect) of a 

 female, probably of less than thirty years. The form is in no respect 

 peculiar, except that the lower jaw is square and angular. The teeth 

 are considerably eroded. 



No. 7. Fragments of the fi-ontal and facial bones of a male of about 

 forty years. 



No. 8. Upper maxillaries of, perhaps, a female, of about sixty years. 



No. 9. Left upper maxillary of a male of about forty years. 



No. 10. Left upper maxillaiy of a young adult, with two molar teeth, 

 showing incipient attrition on the inner edges. 



No. 11. Part of inferior maxillary of an infant, with two deciduous 

 teeth in place. 



No. 12. Fragment of lower jaw of an aged female, completely 

 edentulous. 



The fragments of two lower jaws of males, marked A and B, show in 

 a high degree the broad and angular form of the ascending ramus, 

 which is so marked a feature in the adult male British cranium. 



There are several fragments of burnt human bones, the largest being 

 part of the occiput of a child. They are very imperfectly burnt, many 

 of them merely charred, and are very different from the cinders of bone 

 found when unambiguous cremation has been practised.
