The cranium is somewhat narrower in proportion to its length than in the preceding Chi- 

 nese skulls. The forehead is low, contracted and sloping. The nasals are as flat as in the 

 Negro ; they are continued from the same line with the glabella. The upper jaw is produced. 

 The malars are moderately large and prominent. Each squamosal joins the frontal.

5493. The cranium of a Chinese Ladrone. 



It is broader in proportion to its length than the preceding, but with the forehead as narrow,

This and the preceding skull both manifest a slight unsymmetrical oblique deformity. They 

 are from individuals executed for murder and piracy at Macao.
