The calvaria and lower jaw, ' Weaverthorpe, xliv. 3,' may 

 firstly be taken to illustrate the fact that a type existed in the 

 Bronze Period which is recognisable amongst modern Celtic 

 populations ; and, secondly, may throw some light upon the various 

 questions which have been raised as to the famous skull from 

 the cave at Engis, as it resembles that skull in many important 

 particulars.
