usual. The last lumbar vertebra is (! mm. less in vertical depth 

 behind than in front. 



BONKS OK KXTKKMITIKS. The right humerns is rather short but 

 muscular-looking and somewhat bowed out at the deltoid impression. 

 The right and left radii are intact but present no peculiarity. The 

 radio-humeral index is low, being only 71. 



The right femur is short, shows a distinct third trochanter and 

 a prominent linea aspera. 



A piece of the shaft of the right tibia shows very distinct platy- 

 cnemia. 



The stature as calculated from the femur would have been f> feet 

 1 inch. 



6. TYRIE SHOUT CIST (). 

 '"Skull from Boyndie, Tyrie, presented by Mrs. Ogilvie Forbes 



of Boyndie. The skull was found in a rude cist formed of slabs. 

 The body had been laid on its left side, with knees bent and head 

 to the north-east." 



From this cist there has been preserved the skull only. It is 

 quite complete except for a small part of the parietal of the left side. 

 The skull is that of a male with the coronal and sagittal sutures ossified. 

 The cranial capacity is large, being approximately 1,580 c.c. 



\oriiui Vertimlis (Plate III., Fig. 4). This view is broadly 

 oval, bulging in the Stephanie region. The supraorbital ridges and 

 glabella are seen and there is very distinct " keeling " along the sagittal 

 suture. The breadth is relatively great so that the cranial index is 

 high, the cranium being brachycephalic. 



Norma Lute ni It* (Plate III., Fig. 3). The glabella and supra- 

 orbital margins are prominent, with distinct hollowing at the ophryon. 

 The parietal is flattened above and the postero-parietal passes very 

 sharply downwards, so that there is no projection of the occipital 

 pole. This skull is longer than the other skulls described, and this 

 lengthening has taken place in the parietal region.
