its cubical capacity taken ; a male brachy-cephalic skull (Goodman- 

 ham, No. xcviii, p. 305), however, of strikingly similar contour in 

 its smaller as well as its larger outlines to this, which belonged to 

 an individual about 5" taller than the owner of the skull here de- 

 scribed, exceeds its cubic capacity by only 10 cubic inches. The 

 cubic capacity of the Flixton female skull being 90*5 inches, is 

 somewhat larger than that (1484'23 cub. cent. = 90'276 cub. inches) 

 found by Professor Broca to be the average of 90 Parisian skulls, 

 presumably of both sexes, of the present century, ' qui provenaient 

 tous des sepultures particulieres.' See Memoires d'Anthropologie, 

 i. pp. 354, 355, 1871 ; or Bull. Soc. Anthr. de Paris, vol. ii. Ser. i. 

 p. 510.
