approaches the pentagonal. The greatest width is high up on the 

 parietal, the sides of the skull below this being Hat and tending some- 

 what inwards Cleland's "ill-filled" type of cranium. The parieto- 

 occipital suture is very elaborate, and in it is a chain of no less than 

 twelve distinct Wormian bones. The Wormian bones really form a 

 strip 12 mm. broad from asterion to asterion. The three largest 

 Wormian bones each measure to mm. long by 1*2 mm. broad, one of 

 these being at the lambda in the middle line. 



\nrniii /<'/<>/<!<//;* (Plate II., Fig. 4). The face is very broad 

 and square-looking, the total facial index being 76, and the minimum 

 frontal diameter practically the same as the bigonial diameter. The 

 orbits have their outer angles somewhat depressed and are distinctly 

 microseme, with an orbital index of 80'5. The nasal aperture is just 

 broad enough to be reckoned mesorhine. There is no trace of prog- 

 nathism. 



~^\<>nim li<iail<irix (Plate II., Fig. 5). This is broad and rounded, 

 the cranium bulging over the base ; this is especially seen in the frontal 

 region, which overlaps the face in front and at the sides. The foramen 

 magnum and occipital condyles are of an average size, but the anterior 

 extremities of the condyles are more widely separated from each other 

 than usual. 



BONES OF TRUNK. The thyroid cartilage is preserved, being largely 

 ossified, and shows a prominent anterior angle. 



The sternum has its seven pairs of costal cartilages calcified, 

 the manubrium measures 44 mm. in length, the gladiolus 100 mm., 

 that is, the body is more than twice the length of the manubrium 

 the rule in the male. 



The vertebrae of the cervical, dorsal and lumbar regions are 

 fairly completely preserved. The lumbar vertebra? differ from those 

 of the modern European in that the depth of the bodies together is 

 rather greater behind than in front, and the fifth is the only one in 

 which the anterior depth is markedly greater than the posterior. 



HONES OF EXTREMITIES. Of the upper extremity bones, the right 

 humerus, right radius and right ulna are complete, They are short
