The condition of the femora and pelvis and of the teeth enables us 

 to say with certainty that we have in ' Sherburn Wold, vii. 1 ' 

 the skeleton of a woman who was of about the same age as, or 

 perhaps a little older than, the man to whom the preceding 

 skeleton (' Langton, ii. 1 ') belonged, i. e. about thirty or thirty- 

 five years of age, and who was 4' 8" in stature. The femora are 

 much slighter and much more curved, as well as much shorter, 

 than those of * Langton Wold, ii. 1 ;' they resemble them however 

 in the curious point of having the inner of the two upper lips 

 of the linea aspera prolonged spirally round into the anterior 

 intertrochanteric line. The pelvis and sacrum are completed ; 

 the wisdom teeth however are comparatively little worn. 



The verticality of the forehead and the absence of large supra- 

 ciliary ridges are feminine characters, as are also the comparative 

 feebleness of the lower jaw and the smaller size of the mastoids, 

 seen in the profile view. The parieto-occipital slope however is a 

 little more oblique than is usual in women's skulls. The pterygoids 

 are perfectly vertical. In almost all its measurements this skull is 

 smaller than the male skull with which it is compared; the more 

 important, however, of the proportions which subsist between these 

 dimensions are the same for both. The point of maximum width
