the bones about the foramen. The plane of the foramen, prolonged 

 forward, passes 1.2 cm. beneath the nasion. The posterior condyloid 

 foramina are obliterated ; the remaining openings in the base present 

 nothing unusual. The processes, including the styloids, are all well 

 developed. The petrous portions are but slightly sunken below the 

 level of the surrounding parts; the middle lacerated foramina are 

 smaller than in average whites. Glenoid fossae fairly deep. 



The sutures of the skull show a fine, not very deep serration. 

 Obliteration is noticeable only in the sagittal suture, at vertex and 

 about obelion, and at a point in front of the pterion, on the left side 

 in. the coronal suture. The pterions are of the H form, but quite 

 narrow. There are no Wormian bones.

CEMETERF SKULLS 



The inevitable conclusions are that the Burlington County skull 

 and that from the Riverview cemetery at Trenton are of a type totally 

 different from that of the Lenape, or of any other Indian crania 

 from the East or elsewhere of which we have thus far any knowledge.
