Bear, in which the mastoid is more developed, at least in breadth, than in the Dog, he applies 

 its proper name to it, and says that the occipital has only a tubercle ; meaning by that, his 

 ' mastoide ' in the Dog, properly the paroccipital. Prof. De Blainville, in his description of 

 the skull of the Bear, ' Osteographie des Ursus,' p. 3, applies the term ' mastoide' to both 

 processes, distinguishing the one as the occipital and the other as the temporal mastoid.

5537. The cranium of an aged male native of Saman, one of the Philippine Islands. 



The cranium has the same general form as in No. 5531, but is more capacious, and the 

 occipital region is higher and broader : the nasals are flatter ; the glabella less prominent ; the 

 malars more inclined outwards at their under part ; and the anterior plane of the maxillaries 

 less depressed : the alveolar processes have been absorbed. The paroccipital tubercles are 

 moderately prominent). 



Presented by Hugh Cuming, Esq., F.L.S. 



5538. The skull of an aged male native of Java. 



It corresponds in the general shape of the cranium with the preceding ; but the nasal bones 

 are larger and much more prominent, and the fore part of the maxillaries is less flat. The 

 malars are moderately prominent. The alveolar processes are almost wholly absorbed.
