RADII 



Three whole good-sized aflult normal radii (among which two are from one 

 subject), recovered from the mound at unrecorded depths, by Mr. Gilder; 

 these show no unusual features. Lengths : a 1 , right, 27.8 ; a 2 , left, 27.4 ; &, left, 

 23.3 cm. 



FEMORA 



Eight entire adult bones (in which there are three pairs), with nine pieces 

 and three femora of small children, obtained from the mound by Mr. Gilder 

 at various depths, not ascertained. Two of the \vhole bones (a pair c 1 , c 2 ) 

 show an abnormal curvature forward; the rest are normal and indicate good 

 stature and strength of the people. The general shape and the subtrochanteric 

 flattening (platymery) of most of the bones indicate a close approximation to 

 Indian femora. There is no fossilization.

level, 



In seven instances (a 1 , a 2 , I) 2 , c-, g, j, I) the shape is indeterminate; in six 

 (& 1 , c 1 , d, e, f, m) it is the prismatic (type no. 1) or approximate thereto; and 

 in two (h, i) the shaft is nearly cylindrical. In c 1 and c? is shown, as a com 

 pensation for the curvature, excessive linea aspera. 



TIBIAE 



Two entire adult bones (a pair) and ten pieces, obtained by Mr. Gilder 

 from various levels (unnoted) in the mound. The bones are of good length 

 and strong; they show ordinary forms and only moderate inclination backward 

 of the head. They approximate in general the tibiae of Indians without showing
