condyle, not including those in which there is merely an artic- 

 ular groove for the tooth of the epistropheus. Dr. H. Allen 

 states that in the Morton collection of crania, ten specimens 

 possess a third condyle. Sir William Turner mentions four 

 cases among the 143 crania described in the Challenger Report. 

 He also describes a skull from Port Moresby, 1 New Guinea, 

 possessing the condylus tertius. According to Krause there 

 are three cases of condylus tertius in 150 crania from Neu 

 Pommern and Mioko. 



There are slight traces of the metopic suture in three 

 crania, two males (11612, 11615) and one youth (16913). 



The frontal bone articulates with a process of the superior 

 maxillary between the lachrymal and the os planum (lamina 

 papyracea) of the ethmoid in two crania (11610, 11619) and, 

 in each case, on the left side only. This marks a reversion to 

 the pithecoid arrangement as pointed out by Sir William 

 Turner. 2 Among anthropoids, the os planum is triangular, 

 and the fronto-maxillary articulation always occurs between 

 it and the lachrymal. 



The infra-orbital suture is present in two males (11621, 

 11612), and two females (18283, 11609). The fossae caninae 

 are pronounced in all. 



Apertura pyriformis. The anterior nasal opening presents 

 anthropoid characters in every instance. Four of the male 

 crania (11615-17-18, 16911) possess accentuated simian grooves 

 or gutters; while the fossa pre-nasalis is pronounced in six 

 male (11610-12-21-22, 18280-82) and four female crania 

 (11613-14-19-20). The characteristic human type (forma 

 anthropina) does not occur once in the series. 



In two instances, the nasal bones reach to the level of 

 the lower margin of the orbital opening. The anterior nasal 

 spine averages less than No. 2 of Broca's scale. The spina 

 nasalis posterior exhibits no marked variations. It is never
