noid processes are large and well developed, while the shafts of the 

 bones are slender. 



The height of the individual as calculated from the femora would 

 have been approximately 5 feet 4 inches. 



The bones thus indicate an individual of low stature and rather 

 delicate build with a broad skull, somewhat prominent brow ridges, 

 narrow orbits and broad nose. 



FLINTS. In the cist were found three flints, which show evidence 

 of having been worked. The largest flint measures 43 mm. by 32 

 mm., and is 11 mm. thick along the back, while one border has been 

 reduced to a cutting edge by flaking. The other two flints are much 

 smaller, but each shows a sharp cutting edge made by flaking these 

 seem to be of the nature of thumb scrapers. 



URNS. -An uncommon feature of the cist is that it contains two 

 urns. These two urns differ in size, shape and ornamentation. The 

 one urn is of the shape and appearance characteristic of the " drink- 

 ing cup" or "beaker" class of urn, being relatively broad with 

 slightly constricted neck and everted lip. The other urn is tall and 

 relatively narrow, and not of a form characteristic of the " drinking 

 cup" class of urn. These two urns are figured on Plate X., and 

 later in the paper are described in detail. 



The cist thus contains : 



1. The skeleton of an adult brachycephalic male about 5 feet 4 



inches in height. 



2. Two urns one a typical " beaker," the other of a somewhat 



anomalous type. 



3. Three worked flints. 



4. Pieces of charcoal. 



The trustees of the Kirkville estate have handed over to Pro- 

 lessor Keid the whole contents of the cist for preservation in the 

 Anatomical Museum.
