Skulk. The various measurements of the two skulls are given in 

 Table I. As the crania are somewhat broken the cubic capacity can- 

 not be accurately taken. The cubic capacity of the Whitestone skull 

 is rather small, being only about 1,450 c.c. of mustard seed. The 

 height of the skulls as compared with the length is relatively great, 

 both skulls being practically hypsncephalic. On the other hand, on 

 comparing the relation of the breadth and height to each other we get 

 a breadth-height index less than 100, both skulls being platychamee- 

 cephalif, i.e., wide and low skulls. Comparing the breadth with the 

 length both skulls are broad, the Whitestone skull being hyperbrachy- 

 in, with a cephalic index of 86 - 5. 



TABLE II. 



Both skulls being somewhat broken in their lateral walls it was 

 possible to examine and take measurements of the interior aspect 

 of each cranium. With these measurements and with the help of 

 tracings from strips of lead, Figs. 5 and 6 were reconstructed. The 

 various radii and angles were taken according to the method of Sir 

 William Turner, 1 and are recorded in Table II. 



It is seen that in each skull the distance from the perpendicular 

 radius to the anterior curve of the cranial cavity is longer than to the
