The skoleton is that of a man somewhat advanced in life. The 

 individual Avas of tall stature, possibly not less than 5 feet 10 inches, 

 robust, and normal. 



The skull (pis. 9, 10) is large, finely shaped, of thoroughly modern 

 features, and unusually thin. It shows a normal nasal process of 

 moderate breadth (about 2.1 cui.) ; orbits with fairly sharp borders; 

 glabella and suj^raorbital ridges subdued; forehead not high but 

 well built; the sagittal region oval from side to side; the temporal 

 ridges only mildly marked and at their nearest approach running at

Skeleton II. 



a distance of 7 cm. from the median line ; parietal eminences gently 

 developed, the occiput smooth and blunt ; and the outline of the vault 

 as viewed from above forming a fine ellipse. The thickness of the 

 parietals ranges from 3 to 4 mm., which for a strong Indian is

The mastoid process shows normal masculine development; the 

 auditory meatus is rather large and in cross section nearly circular;
