length were filled up with plasticine, and 3 determinations of the water con- 

 tent were made. These amounted to 556, 593, and 581 c.c, giving a mean of 

 576.67 c.c. This figure was close to the original figure of 570 c.c. cited by 

 Dubois in 1898. 



To obtain comparative data for computing the total capacity, I pro- 

 ceeded to Utrecht, and a week after the first determinations on the Trinil 

 specimen, with the consent of Professor G. H. R. von Koenigswald and the 

 help of his assistant, Miss H. Cardinaals, I determined the part-capacity of 

 the Sangiran specimen known as H. erectus II of Java (Figures 25, 26, and 

 27). With the Sangiran calvaria filled to the same level as in the Trinil cal-
