398 ON THE PEOPLE OF THE LONG-BARROW PERIOD. 



covered from this cist, two of which possibly, though not probably, 

 belonged to the same female subject. Of three other adult female 

 humeri from this cist, one shows the commencing of perforation ; 

 the other two have no indication of it. Some of the human bones 

 and some of the brute bones found in this cist or chamber present 

 the manganic discolouration. The male and female bones, when 

 compared, show the female bones, especially the clavicles and 

 humeri, to be disproportionately smaller than the male. Some of 

 the bones are beset with exostoses. The instance of an ossified 

 costal, and another of an ossified ensiform cartilage, belong to this 

 series. 



Swell vi. (2, 1). — Skull, with part of lower jaw of a strong man 

 in middle period of life, corresponding with the Hohberg type of 

 His and Riitimeyer. 1 and 2 were close together at the south-west 

 corner of the cist, with other bones, all disturbed, but still in some 

 order. N.B. — Parts of two bodies, one a frontal of woman.

There is considerable obliteration of sutures internally; The 

 teeth are much and horizontally worn ; some appear to have been 

 lost during life, but no wisdom teeth were developed. The mas- 

 toids and supraciliary ridges are large, and the muscular lines for 

 the temporal insertions pronounced. Frontal and parieto-occipital 

 regions describe an even curve. The highest point in the vertical 

 arc is a little posterior to the coronal suture. The sides of the 

 occipital pentagon incline outwards a very little from the region of 

 the parietal tubera, which in this skull are very faintly indicated, 

 as in the Hohberg type of His and Kutimeyer, which it resembles 

 also in its well-marked vertical carination. The mental prominence 

 is not very great, but is markedly triangular when viewed from the 

 front. 



Under this label came the frontal and other bones of a woman. 



Swell vi. (2, 2). — Skull, with part of lower jaw of woman past 

 middle period of life. This skull was in the south-west corner of 

 the cist, close together with Swell vi. 2, 1. Other bones were 

 together with the skull ; some finger-bones were at the head of 2 ; 

 and in front of the neck a bead of Kimmeridge shale; but the
