normal vision in one or both eyes after the adjustment of suitable 

 correcting lenses. 



Myopia was present in 1875 per cent, of the eyes. 



15 per cent, of the students had myopia in both eyes. 



The average size of the pupil was found to be greater in hyper- 

 metropia than in myopia. 



Vision better than || was more common in those with a small or 

 with a nearly average pupil than in those with a larger one. 



In the male students an eye with a light iris had a slightly larger 

 pupil than an eye with a dark or medium iris. 



Acuteness of vision did not seem to depend on the colour of 

 the iris. 



The dark irides were directly proportional to the amount of 

 pigment present in the hair and in the skin. 



NOTES ON TEN WASOGA CEANIA. 

 By W. A. H. McKKEBOw. 



These crania from the Anatomical Museum were found at Kui 

 Station on the Uganda Railway in 1900 by Mr. Ian Rose, M.B., D.P.H., 

 Medical Officer to that railway. They belonged to individuals who 

 came from Northern Uganda and who died of starvation at Kui 

 Station. 



Skulls from this part of the world have hitherto been difficult 

 to obtain. Consequently it is important that their measurements 

 should be duly recorded. 



From the following table it will be seen that the majority of 

 the crania have a very low cubic capacity ; seven are markedly 

 microcephalic, two are mesocephalic and one megacephalic. 



The cephalic index shows that five are dolichocephalic and five 

 are mesaticephalic. The vault of the cranium is markedly scaphoid 

 in No. 1. In Nos. 3, 7 and 9 the squamous portion of the tem- 

 poral bone articulates on both sides directly with the frontal bone. 

 Wormian bones are present in many of the crania. The superciliary 

 ridges are poorly marked except in No.J>,
