(Plate xviu. b) 



A small, but plainly masculine, skull, from an aging, not very muscular indi 

 vldual. It Is damaged, but In no way deformed or diseased. The sagittal 

 suture is wholly occluded, a condition apparently somewhat premature, as the 

 rest of the cranial and facial articulations are still patent; but this condition has 

 imt affected the shai>e of the skull. 



The supraorbital ridge* are pronounced, though not excessive for a male; 

 they are limlt^l to the median two-thirds of the supraorbital space. The fore- 

 head is very low and sloping, without distinct frontal bend or eminences. The 

 upper part of the frontal squama shows a quite prominent median ridge, which 

 broadens out as It proceeds backward and for a short distance Is continuous
