parietals this ridge is duplicated leaving a slight but well mark- 
ed furrow between the two branches. The flattened planes 
noticed in DD are here reproduced, but the occiput is much more 
protruding. 
In norma facialis, the flat features, the narrow forehead, the 
continuous fronto-nasal line, the prominent canines and the 
double supra orbital notch are all in accordance with others of 
the same group, although the wider malar diameter and the 
broad short nose (nasal index 56.5) indicate individual variation. 
Although the majority of the sutures are obliterated, the 
infra-orbital suture is still distinctly marked. Another signifi- 
cant fact is that the orbital measurements are exactly identical 
with those of the other male skulls of the series. Is this a racial 
distinction or a mere coincidence? 
The malar orifice is double on both sides, there being a space 
of about 10 milimeters between the ducts, 
The general characters of the face are chamaeprosopic, platyo- 
- pic, mesoseme, and platyrhinic. 
The lower mandible is broken in two, and is much weathered. 
All the incisors are present but are worn down to the alveolar 
borders, while the molars with one exception, were lost previons 
to death. The ascending ramus forms a much more obtuse angle 
than in any of the other mandibles, undoubtedly owing to the 
age of the individual. The bi-condyle breadth is unusually 
great (128 mm exterior measurement.) 
The palate isshaped and elongated and the upper teeth all 
wanting with the exception of 3 incisors. worn down to the 
alveolar. The foramen magnum is assymetrical and rhomboidal 
in form, and the condyles larger than usual. 
Skull N.c i. FROM SHELL MOUNDS. 
This skull is only fragmentary but in general outline quite 
different to those already described. From its size it would 
appear to be that of a child and the thinness of the bones seem 
to point to the same deduction. It is mesaticephalic in form, 
with an index of 80, with narrow sloping forehead, and gently 
rounded roof. The parietal protuberancos are barely noticable, 
and the greatest diameter is found below and slightly to the 
front of them. 
As only the frontal, parietals and a portion of the occipital 
are present it is not easy to make a comparison but I should 
have no hesitation in saying that it belonged to a distinct type 
to the series lettered alphabetically.
