528 LONG BAUROWS. 



waterworn on the right side ; it is eminently dolicho-cephalic, with 

 an extreme length of 7 '6", an extreme breadth of 5 '2", a latitudinal 

 index of 68, and a circumference of 21*3". A lower jaw, with teeth 

 closely corresponding in wear and size to those in the upper jaw 

 of this skull, was found in this barrow, but at a considerable dis- 

 tance from the skull and other bones. 



A second set of bones (2) was found about a foot away in an 

 E.S.E. direction from ' No. 1,' with which they had, so far as we 

 can judge, become partially intermingled. For some of the bones 

 referred to as No. 1 had belonged to an old woman, and may very 

 well be part of the skeleton of the same sex and age which we have 

 now to speak of. In this second collection of bones, which Mr. 

 Royce found ' in no form all confused/ I find, firstly, one skull 

 with the lower jaw of an old woman, to whom two fibulse, two 

 clavicles, and two humeri, all with old breakages upon them, also 

 found here, may very well have belonged, as well as the bones of 

 the second adult skeleton represented in set No. 1 ; and, secondly, 

 a very long calvarium which lay at a deeper level than the first 

 one found at No. 2, and which appears to have belonged to a young 

 man. With these bones, as with two other sets of bones to be 

 hereinafter mentioned as 'No. 4' and 'A,' evidence of injuries re- 

 ceived and repaired during life was found : in this case the evidence 

 was furnished by an ulna which had been broken and repaired. 

 A patella of an ox, probably a domesticated animal, was found with 

 these bones, as also with another set, ' No. 4,' found at no great 

 distance from them ; and further remains of domesticated animals 

 were presented to us in parts of the skull and of the upper jaw of 

 a kid (Capra hircus), with its milk dentition just worn out. It is 

 of importance to note that, whilst the latter of these skulls is so 

 exceedingly long and narrow as to merit the name * Cymbo-ce- 

 phalic,' applied by Professor Daniel Wilson to such skulls in 1850 \ 

 its length being 7'9", with a parietal arc of nearly 6", though its 

 sagittal suture is open as well as its coronal, the female skull, on 

 the other hand, is a skull which, without being brachy-cephalic by 

 mere measurement of the proportions of length and breadth, is yet 

 a short and a small skull, with an extreme length of 6*9", an ex- 

 treme breadth of 5'1", a parietal arc of 5 -I", and a circumference 

 of but 19*6". It is perhaps to the presence of female skulls such
