The capacity, 1290 cc, is somewhat higher than that 

 usually given tor Australians, Turner giving 1230 cc. and 

 Quatrefages and Hamy, 1269 mm. The cephalic index 

 of 69 proves the skull to be longer than the average, 

 Quatrefages and Hamy, and Broca giving 71. The ver- 

 tical index is about the average for Australians. 



Both facial indices indicate a short, broad face, a char- 

 acteristic trait of Australians. The nasal index of 64 is 

 unusually high, the average among the Bushmen being 

 only 60, while the average for the Australians is 57. The 

 orbital index also is unusually high, 80 being the average. 

 The two palatal indices show the palate to be of a very low 

 type, the posterior diameter being proportionally much 

 greater than the anterior. The other measurements do 

 not merit special comment. To conclude with the skull, 

 it is notable for its amount of synostosis, small capacity, 

 pronounced dolicocephalism, mesoseme orbits, platyrhine 

 nose, broad palate, and prognathism. 



Teeth. — The incisors, right canine, both 3rd molars, 

 and the left second molar of the upper teeth, and the tirst 

 and second premolars and all the molars of the left side
