The calvarium has been detached. 



Presented by Governor Farquhar. 



5390. The skull of a male, native of New Zealand. 



The permanent dentition is complete and moderately worn. There is a natural interspace 

 between the left canine and the anterior bicuspids, and there are only three inferior incisors, 

 the middle one of which projects on a line with the symphysis, without any trace of the obli- 

 terated socket of the missing tooth. The upper half of the superoccipital has been developed 

 as an interparietal from a separate centre, and has united by a complex dentated suture with 

 the lower half of the superoccipital.

5395. A much mutilated skull of a male, native of New Zealand. Hunterian. 







5396. A mutilated and much fractured skull of a male, native of New Zealand. 



In this specimen a dislocation of the lower jaw has taken place, on the left side, by which 

 the condyloid process has been dislodged from the glenoid cavity, and slipping forwards, has 

 formed a new joint on the eminentia articularis. That this displacement has been permanent, 

 appears, from the adaptation of the bony surfaces to each other, and from the undue wearing 

 of the teeth on that side of the jaw. 



Hunterian.
