thinner and show less pronounced masculine features than Indian 
crania of related forms from other localities. | 
One of the skulls (original no. 127, from Kurtz mound, p. 63), 
female, is brachycephalic and belonged doubtless to an individual 
from another tribe. Besides this there is a male lower jaw (original 
no. 110, from Easley mound no. 2), which is unusually broad and 
short and belonged probably to a short skull; while the male skull, 
original no. 128 (exact locality not stated), gives breadth-length index 
slightly in excess of the upper limit of mesocephaly. 
The jaws and remnants of the alveolar processes show an unusual 
prevalence about the roots of the teeth of pathological conditions of 
inflammatory and suppurative nature. 
Finally, the teeth of the individuals beyond middle adult age are, 
almost as a rule, badly and irregularly worn down. 
III. Lone Bones 
The long bones, particularly those of the lower limbs, indicate 
good musculature; but, as only very few of these bones are entire, 
not much can be learned as to the height of the people. In several 
instances where estimates are possible the statures indicated are of 
fair size, but not exceptional. 
In their anthropological features the bones show all the character- 
istics of the Indian, namely, a rather marked flatness of the humeri 
and tibiae, and a moderate platymery, or subtrochanteric flattening 
of the femora. The heads of the tibiae, in the few cases where 
they are left, show an inclination backward slightly greater than the 
average in whites. 
A number of the femora and tibiae present pathological conditions 
of protracted inflammatory nature, possibly syphilis. 
Numerous long bones and two skulls bear the marks of rodents’ 
teeth, and also more pronounced incisions, seemingly due to cutting. 
As in many other instances, it is here impossible clearly to distin- 
guish the marks due to rodents from those due to the use of the knife. 
IV. DETAILED MEASUREMENTS AND OBSERVATIONS 
Original no. 8 (from the Dallmeyer mound): Pieces of lower and 
upper jaws of a young male. No special features except that the 
third molar on the right side of the lower jaw is impacted; it les 
nearly horizontal, facing forward and slightly upward. 
Original no. 19 (from Dawson mound no. 14): A defective, female, 
adult, very dolichocephalic cranium of moderate capacity; slight 
post-mortem deformation. The lower jaw, which is much damaged, 
was quite high. Teeth, slightly worn, show no abnormal features.
