part of the slope under a precipice, and the circumstance that 
Wadjak I, to all appearance a woman, accompanied Wadjak II, 
who was certainly a man, that also the skeleton was crushed on 
the other flat part, in the front of the cave, are facts that quite fit 
in with the other interpretation of the fragmentary state of the bones. 
For the same reasons Carnivora (Tiger, Adjag) cannot have broken 
the bones either. It is further easy to understand that in the progress 
of the natural change of the mountain slope, many parts of the 
crushed skeleton were lost. 
The skull of Wadjak I is partially filled up with breccia mass, 
and defective in some places; a few bones have also been slightly 
dislocated. Consequently some measures can only be taken indirectly, 
others not at all. After some correction, the former can generally, 
i.e. when the amount of the dislocation is measurable, still be deter- 
mined with sufficient certainty. 
The general form and the principal dimensions at once show that 
we have to do with a type deviating altogether from the Malay 
race. This is already evident on comparison of the norma lateralis 
with that of a typically Javanese skull placed at the same auricular- 
bregma line (fig. 1). For further comparison with our fossil skull, 
as far as its morphological characters are concerned, only the 
Papuan (in general the Melanesian), the Australian, and the Tas- 
manian are evidently to be taken into consideration, a group, which 
morphologically has a great number of characters in common. That 
the Wadjak man is no more closely related to Homo neandertalensis 
than those recent human types needs hardly further demonstration 
nowadays. *) 
The fossil skull of Wadjak I is large, exceptionally large for a 
woman, to whom it probably belonged (from the comparison with 
Wadjak II). The greatest length of the calvaria is 200 mm. This 
is probably never attained by female representatives of the said 
recent races of man, hardly ever by male Australian skulls (Turner) *), 
and exceeded by very few by a few millimeters (Duckworrn) °).
