The condition of the femora and pelvis and of the teeth enable us 

 to say with certainty that we have in ' Sherburn Wold, vii. 1 ' 

 the skeleton of a woman who was of about the same age as, or 

 perhaps a little older than, the man to whom the preceding- 

 skeleton ('Langton, ii. 1') belonged, i.e. about thirty or thirty- 

 five years of age, and who was 4' 8" in stature. The femora are 

 much slighter and much more curved, as well as much shorter, 

 than those of f Langton Wold, ii. 1 ;' they resemble them however 

 in the curious point of having the inner of the two upper lips
