  A 
  further 
  study 
  of 
  the 
  cranium 
  of 
  Eoanthropiis 
  shows 
  that 
  the 
  

   occipital 
  and 
  right 
  parietal 
  bones 
  need 
  slight 
  readjustment 
  in 
  the 
  

   reconstruction, 
  but 
  the 
  result 
  does 
  not 
  alter 
  essentially 
  any 
  of 
  the 
  

   conclusions 
  already 
  published. 
  The 
  nasal 
  bones, 
  now 
  described, 
  are 
  

   typically 
  human, 
  but 
  relatively 
  small 
  and 
  broad, 
  resembling 
  those 
  of 
  

   some 
  of 
  the 
  existing 
  Melanesian 
  and 
  African 
  races. 
  The 
  right 
  lower 
  

   canine 
  tooth 
  may 
  be 
  regarded 
  as 
  belonging 
  to 
  the 
  imperfect 
  man- 
  

   dibular 
  ramus 
  already 
  described. 
  It 
  is 
  relatively 
  large 
  and 
  stout, 
  

   and, 
  like 
  the 
  molar 
  teeth, 
  it 
  has 
  been 
  much 
  worn 
  by 
  mastication. 
  

   The 
  worn 
  surface 
  on 
  the 
  inner 
  aspect 
  extends 
  down 
  to 
  the 
  gum, 
  

   and 
  proves 
  that 
  the 
  upper 
  and 
  lower 
  canines 
  completely 
  interlocked, 
  

   as 
  in 
  the 
  apes. 
  In 
  shape, 
  the 
  canine 
  resembles 
  the 
  milk-canine 
  of 
  

   man 
  and 
  that 
  of 
  the 
  apes 
  more 
  closely 
  than 
  it 
  agrees 
  with 
  the 
  

   permanent 
  canine 
  of 
  any 
  known 
  ape. 
  In 
  accordance 
  with 
  a 
  well- 
  

   known 
  paliBontological 
  law, 
  it 
  therefore 
  approaches 
  the 
  canine 
  of 
  

   the 
  hypothetical 
  Tertiary 
  Anthropoids 
  more 
  nearly 
  than 
  any 
  

   corresponding 
  tooth 
  hitherto 
  found. 
  

  

  The 
  rolled 
  fragment 
  of 
  an 
  upper 
  molar 
  of 
  Jiliinoceros 
  is 
  highly 
  

   mineralized, 
  and 
  has 
  the 
  appearance 
  of 
  a 
  derived 
  fossil. 
  It 
  is 
  

   specifically 
  indeterminable, 
  but 
  seems 
  to 
  agree 
  best 
  with 
  the 
  teeth 
  

   of 
  nil. 
  etruscus 
  or 
  Rh. 
  mercl\:i 
  (= 
  leptorhinus 
  Owen).

  Since 
  the 
  MS. 
  of 
  my 
  paper 
  on 
  " 
  The 
  Species 
  of 
  Limnoria" 
  was 
  sent 
  

   to 
  the 
  printer, 
  I 
  have 
  received 
  Dr. 
  W. 
  M. 
  Tattersall's 
  Report 
  on 
  

   'The 
  Schizopoda, 
  Stomatopoda, 
  and 
  non-Antarctic 
  Isopoda 
  of 
  tlie 
  

   Scottish 
  National 
  Antarctic 
  Expedition,' 
  in 
  which 
  he 
  states 
  that 
  

   one 
  specimen 
  of 
  Limnoria 
  lignorum 
  was 
  found 
  among 
  other 
  Isopoda 
  

   collected 
  by 
  the 
  ' 
  Scotia 
  ' 
  at 
  Port 
  Stanley, 
  Falkland 
  Islands. 
  He 
  

   says, 
  "I 
  can 
  find 
  no 
  appreciable 
  differences 
  from 
  northern 
  specimens 
  

   of 
  the 
  same 
  species 
  " 
  (Trans. 
  Roy. 
  Soe. 
  Edinburgh, 
  vol. 
  xlix. 
  p. 
  882, 
  

   1913). 
  

  

  Dr. 
  Tattersall 
  also 
  draws 
  attention 
  to 
  the 
  fact 
  that 
  Mr. 
  Stebbing 
  

   ha.s 
  recorded 
  this 
  species 
  from 
  Port 
  Elizabeth, 
  South 
  Africa 
  (' 
  South 
  

   African 
  Crustacea,' 
  part 
  iv. 
  p. 
  50, 
  liJOS). 
  Mr. 
  Stebbing's 
  specimens 
  

   were 
  found 
  buiTowing 
  in 
  wood, 
  and 
  he 
  ascertained 
  by 
  dissection 
  

   that 
  they 
  agreed 
  with 
  the 
  description 
  and 
  figures 
  of 
  the 
  European 
  

   species 
  given 
  by 
  Sars. 
  I 
  had 
  overlooked 
  Mr. 
  Stebbing's 
  record 
  of 
  

   the 
  species 
  in 
  South 
  Africa. 
  

  

  Limnoria 
  antarctica 
  has 
  recently 
  been 
  recorded 
  from 
  Deception 
  

   Island, 
  in 
  the 
  South 
  Shetland 
  Islands, 
  by 
  Miss 
  II. 
  Richardson 
  

   (' 
  Deuxieme 
  Expedition 
  Antarctique 
  Fran^aise. 
  Crustaces 
  Isopodes,' 
  

   p. 
  8), 
  whose 
  paper 
  also 
  reached 
  me 
  after 
  my 
  MS. 
  had 
  been 
  sent 
  to 
  

   the 
  printer.
