in the Wiltshire Museum, Devizes. 297 
people consisted of two different races. In all exploration of long 
barrows it is most desirable that the character of the finds associated 
with each of these forms of dolichocephalic skulls should be most 
carefully noted, as well as all circumstances connected with their 
interment, 
In the character of the nasal portion of the face, the skulls 
complete enough for examination conform to the usual type (except 
the skull from Monkton, which is broader in proportion to its length 
than usual), and the same may be said regarding the orbit. In 
only the skull from Overton and that from Shalbourne could the 
general form of the face be compared; in the former the narrowness 
of the lower portion of the face across the lower jaw is noticeable. 
The imperfect condition of the facial portion of the majority of 
these skulls renders a comparative study of the face impossible. It 
may be noted, however, that the prominence of the forehead above 
the nose (called the glabella) is little marked, except in the Overton 
skull. This smoothness of the forehead is very characteristic of the 
long barrow race and contrasts strongly with the prominent glabella 
of the round barrow race.
