5713. A skull found in digging a drain near Whitehall Stairs : there were two other 

 skulls and many loose bones found in the same spot. 



This skull, with its narrow and receding forehead and large jaws, indicates it to have be- 

 longed to a physically powerful, but mentally inferior, individual. The upper jaw is less pro- 

 duced than in the preceding skull. 



Presented by William Lynn, Esq. 



5714. The cranium of a Servian soldier. 



It presents the short and broad form of skull, with the occiput higher and more flattened 

 than in No. 5713, and with the narrow forehead still more sloping. The nasal bones are 

 prominent : the malars small : the upper jaw very little produced. The teeth which remain 

 in this cranium have been worn to the stumps. 



Presented by J. W. G. Gutch, Esq. 



5715. A part of the mutilated cranium of a Servian soldier. 



It shows a similarly contracted forehead, but with the occiput much more prominent than 

 in the preceding specimen. 



Presented by J. W. G. Gutch, Esq. 



5716. The skull of a modern Greek. 



The cranium is rather narrow, and the parietal protuberances are slightly marked : the 

 forehead rises almost vertically : there is a slight depression between the glabella and nose- 

 The upper jaw is a little produced. 



Presented by Dr. John Davy, F.B.8. 



5717. The cranium of a Greek. 



It is somewhat broader in proportion to its length, with a similarly well-formed, although 

 not very lofty, forehead. The nasals are continued from the same line as the glabella. The 

 malar bones are small, subvertical, and with the orbital parietes neatly defined, as in No. 5716. 

 The vaginal processes are unusually developed in the present cranium. 



Presented by Dr. John Davy, F.R.S. 



5718. The cranium of a Piedmontese. 



It is broader in proportion to its length than in the Grecian skull, and the occipital region 

 is higher, broader, and less prominent, being somewhat uusymmetrically flattened, as in the 

 Peruvian skulls, and, perhaps, from a similar cause. The forehead is low and receding : the 

 glabella is prominent ; the nasal bones are unusually so, and are subcoinpressed : the malars 

 are vertical : the upper jaw is not produced.
