The greatest breadth is 145 mm. (measured directly, without the 
necessary correction 150 mm.), the basi bregmatic height is 140 mm. 
These measures, too, are near the maxima of the comparable group. 
For the length-breadth index 72.5 is thus found, for the length-height 
index 70, for the breadth-height index 96.7. Accordingly the skull 
is dolichoeephalie and tapeinocephalic [Fig. 2. Norma frontalis, and 
Fig. 3. Norma verticalis |. 
According to the records of Berry, ROBERTSON, STUART Cross, and 
Bicuner') these cranial measures, minima, means, and maxima 
for 100 Australians, 86 Tasmanians, and 191 Papuans (unsexed), 
in millimeters, and the mean indices, with which I compare Wadjak 
I, were as follows:

From this appears the close resemblance with this group of 
modern human types. The approach is closest to the Australians 
and the Tasmanians, least so to the Papuans. This applies also to 
other morphological characters of the cranium. The cranial vault 
has the characteristic rooflike appearance of Australian skulls, and 
the side-walls are almost vertical (Fig. 2 Norma frontalis), but the 
height of the cranium is nevertheless comparatively small; the 
glabella and superciliary ridges are very pronounced; the forehead
