In No. V. none are lost or pointed. 



Longitudinal . 1/r.v. In every case the occipital is the smallest. 



The frontal is in two cases greater than, in one case equal to, 

 and in the remaining two less, than the parietal. The most striking 

 difference is seen in the largest skull (No. IV.), where the frontal is 

 153;") nun. and the parietal 111} mm., thus causing the average to he 1'27 : 

 1.M in favour of the frontal. 



There is considerable range in the measurements most marked 

 in the gnathic, nasal, orbital and palate-maxillary indices so that 

 one doubts the legitimacy of taking the average of the five. If it is 

 taken, however, the type is microcephalic ; metriocephalic ; mesati- 

 rcphalic ; mesognathous ; platyrhine ; megaseme ; braehyuranie ; iuter- 

 /ygomatic breadth l:3 In all the height is less than the breadth. 



The average cranial capacity is slightly larger than that of the 

 Hottentot (II. and III. have characters of the Bush Race, while I., 

 IV. and V. have rather those of the Guinean negro). This is borne 

 out by Mr. Rose in an address on the native tribes of Eastern 

 Equatorial Africa, delivered to the Anatomical and Anthropological 

 Society, June, 1900: "The Wa Kamba tribe are the scavengers of 

 the bush. They occupy a large extent of country north of the Tsavo. 

 Their intelligence is practically nil, as they are able to do nothing 

 save occasionally to carry loads as porters. They are restless and 

 uncertain in temper, and give considerable trouble by dacoity. They 

 will eat almost anything. It was no uncommon feature during the 

 famine of last year to come on a group of Wa Kamba gorging 

 themselves with a rotten diseased donkey. They do not seem to be 

 affected by putrid flesh in the same way as we would be. Their 

 arrows are tipped with deadly poison." Proceed! nt/s of the Anatomical
