SAGITTAL REGION 
The vault of the skull among Indians is frequently more or less 
arched or keeled, indicating strong development of the temporal 
muscles. This characteristic is of course much more frequent and 
pronounced in the males than in the females. The Munsee, it will 
be seen, show no exception in this respect. The elevation of the 
sagittal region is present in nearly all the males, although it is seldom 
pronounced. Among the females nearly half are without sagittal 
elevation, while in the remainder this feature is only slightly de- 
veloped.

TEMPORO-PARIETAL REGION 
The temporo-parietal region differs in convexity with the type of 
the skull, being usually quite flat in pronounced dilochocephaly and 
decidedly convex in marked brachycephaly. Besides this, it is 
also subject to individual and groupal variations. In the series at 
hand, in two-thirds of both the male and the female skulls the region 
is of about medium convexity. Among the remainder of the speci- 
mens it is rather interesting to note that while in a third of the 
cases in the males the region is flat and in no case bulging, these 
conditions are practically reversed in the females. The temporo- 
parietal region of the brain tended evidently to a greater relative 
development in the females of this series than in the males.
