in no way extraordinary; the thickness of the left parietal below 

 the temporal ridge ranges from 4 to 5 mm. 



The supraorbital ridges are quite pronounced, but not unusual 

 for a male ; they are restricted, as is the case in many Indian crania, 

 to the median half of the supraorbital distance. The glabella is 

 not very prominent. The temporal ridges are moderate; nearest 

 approach to sagittal suture 4.5 cm. Occipital ridges, except the 

 superior, quite indistinct. The zygomse and mastoids are broken; 

 the remnants show nothing unusual. 



The nasion depression is well marked ; the interorbital distance is 

 moderate (at level of nasion, 2.6 cm.). Nasal bones show fair breadth 

 (8 mm. beneath nasion, right 7 mm., left 5 mm., broad). The walls 

 of the orbits are rounded, not unduly heavy ; orbital depth ordinary. 



Parietal foramina absent, mastoidal moderate. The situation and 

 inclination of the foramen magnum (so far as it is possible to judge) 

 and the depth of the glenoid fossaa are as in an ordinary Indian skull. 



The sutures show medium complexity and are considerably in 

 volved by synostosis (senile). This is most marked in the coronal 

 and the anterior part of the sagittal suture, but extends in lesser 

 degree through the rest of the sagittal and the whole lambdoid. All 

 the sutures about the temporal bone, and the fronto-sphenoidal, 

 fronto-malar, fronto-nasal, and internasal articulations are still free. 



Ventrally the skull shows but few brain impressions, except on the 

 temporals, as among modern Indians. The metopic crest is low. 

 The capacity must have exceeded 1,500 c. c. 



The skull is dolichocephalic (cephalic index, 73.75) and quite high 

 (basion-bregma very nearly 14.0 cm.). The nasal index can not be 

 determined. The orbits were probably mesoseme.
