SKULL NO. X 



This is the skull of an approximately G-year-old child, found by Mr. Gilder 

 buried rather superficially in the Gilder mound. It is apparently quite recent, 

 well developed, thin, and decidedly brachycephalic. A small portion of the 

 occipital bone above the foramen magnum has been cut away in nearly a straight 

 line, with some sharp instrument. The color of this specimen is brownish yellow, 

 not radically different from that of other bones in the mound. 



FRONTAL BONE 



This specimen was recovered in two widely separated pieces from the Gil 

 der mound by Professor Barbour. It lay 4 feet below the surface. It is a por 

 tion of an adult, and apparently normal, male skull, of medium thickness. It 

 shows moderate masculine ridges and glabella, and a quite well vaulted fore 

 head. Diameter frontal minimum, 9.6 cm. Color agrees with that of other 

 specimens from the mound. No fossil ization. 



LOWER JAW a 



Found in Gilder mound by Professor Barbour, at the depth of 4 feet. It is 

 the jaw of a young subject (posterior molars not yet erupted) and shows in 

 every way an ordinary Indian form. The chin is square, fairly prominent. 

 The dental arch indicates moderate prognathisrn. The teeth were all lost after 

 death except three of the molars, which are of moderate size and normal form ; 

 the anterior molars show each five cusps ; the one median molar presents four, 

 as usual in modern skulls. The enamel looks fresh. The bone shows no trace 

 of fossil ization. 



The point of the left coronoid process had been cut off with some sharp 

 instrument. 



PORTION OF LOWER JAW 



Found &quot; deep &quot; in the Gilder mound by Professor Barbour. The fragment 

 consists of about two-thirds of the left horizontal rainus, without the chin or 

 angle. The jaw was apparently masculine and rather strong, but, so far as
