E. PAIUTE SKULL FROM NEVADA (NO. 243817) 



( Plate XVIT, //) 



An undeformed and in no way diseased skull of an adult male. No trace 

 remains of the basilar suture, but the- remaining cranial and facial sutures are 

 all open. 



The specimen is quite heavy and bears evidence of strong, though not exces 

 sive, musculature. It shows a prominent glabella ; moderate masculine supra- 

 orbital ridges (limited to the median two-thirds of the supraorbital space) ; 

 a gradually sloping, low forehead with only a trace of frontal bend and no 

 sign of frontal eminences ; and a median elevation which extends over the upper 

 four-fifths of the frontal squama and up to obelion along the sagittal suture, 

 saving the top of the skull a scaphoid appearance. 



The face presents a rather marked alveolar prognathism. The lower jaw 

 shows no special features. The teeth were of ordinary size (all are now broken 

 owing to exposure). The denture in the upper jaw is anomalous, there being 

 three supernumerary teeth ; one of these existed between the median incisors, 

 and the second between the left lateral incisors and somewhat anterior thereto, 

 while there is a socket on the left also for a somewhat diminutive extra tooth in 

 the rear of the three molars. Notwithstanding the presence of 19 teeth in the 

 upper jaw, the dental arch and palate are quite symmetrical, and there is 

 nothing to correspond with the anomalies in the lower maxilla.
