The left clavicle is the only other complete bone and measures 

 14:2 nun. long. It is a very straight bone with a large flat surface 

 for the origin of the pectoralis muscle. 



The femora and tibia,' are too much broken to permit of length 

 measurements however, one from trochanter to condyle measures the 

 same as that of the femur of the Pai khill (it) skeleton, and hence the 

 individual to whom it belonged was probably not more than 5 feet 

 '2 inches in stature. 



5. CLINTEUTY SHOUT CIST. 



' " Part of contents of short cist found at Clinterty, Kinellar, 

 Aberdeenshire, September, 1897. Presented by Mr. Godsman, 

 Clinterty." 



The contents consist of parts of a male skeleton, an urn of the 

 " drinking- vessel " type and a bone ring. The cist also contained flint 

 arrow heads, a small flint axe or borer and charred wood ; these were 

 not obtained for the museum. 



SKULL. The skull is much broken and hence only a limited num- 

 ber of measurements can be taken. The skull is that of a male and is 

 bracliycephalic, the cranial index being 84'3. The horizontal circum- 

 ference is approximately 528 mm. The nasal depression and the 

 glabella are fairly well developed. The frontal arc is slightly longer 

 than the parietal arc ; still the bregma is well forward, the frontal arc 

 being high. 



The norma verticalis is broadly oval and the zygomatic arches 

 are hid from view. The norma occipitalis has a distinctly " ill-filled " 

 appearance. The nasal aperture is relatively wide, the nasal index 

 approaching the platyrhine group. The orbital margins are destroyed 

 and do not admit of measurement. 



The symphysis of the lower jaw projects well forward and the 

 teeth are much worn. 



The first four cervical vertebrae are intact. The upper articular 

 facets on the atlas have their long axes more antero-posterior than
