Throe whole good-sized adult nornuil radii (among which two are from one 

 subject), recovered from the mound ;it unrecorded depths, by Mr. (Jildcr; 

 these show no unusual features. Lengths : a 1 , right, 27.8 ; a 1 , left, '21 A ; b, left, 

 23.3 cm. 



FEMORA 



Eight entire adult bones (in which there are three pairs), with nine pieces 

 and three femora of small children, obtained from the mound by Mr. (Jildt-r 

 at various depths, not ascertained. Two of the whole bones (a pair r 1 , c*> 

 show an abnormal curvature forward; the rest are normal and indicate good 

 stature and strength of the people. The general shape and the subtrochanteric 

 flattening (platymery) of most of the bones indicate a close approximation to 

 Indian femora. There is no fossilization.

SHAPES OF SHAFT 



Iii seven instances (a 1 , a 5 , b 2 , c~, g, j, 1) the shape is indeterminate; in six 

 (&*, c 1 , d, e, f, m) it is the prismatic (type no. 1) or approximate thereto; and 

 in two (ft, i) the shaft is nearly cylindrical. In c l and c 2 is 'shown, as a com- 

 pensation for the curvature, excessive linea aspera. 



Two entire adult bones (a pair) and ten pieces, obtained by Mr. Gilder 

 from various levels (unnoted) in the mound. The bones are of good length 

 and strong; they show ordinary forms and only moderate inclination backward 

 of the bead. They approximate in general the tibiae of Indians without showing
