HRDLICK A] PHYSICAL ANTHROPOLOGY OF THE LENAPE 43 
LOWER JAW 
In 17 of the 20 Munsee skulls in which the lower jaw is present, the 
latter is of ordinary (Indian) dimensions and form; in one male and 
in one female it shows strong development. In a single instance 
only is the chin square; in the others it is moderately rounded. The 
prominence of the chin in all cases may be described as approximately 
medium.

PALATE 
The shape of the palate is determined by that of the upper dental 
arch. Of the skulls at hand, in 11 of the 22 cases the outlines of both 
the arch and the palate are elliptic, in 7 ovoid, and in 4 parabolic. 
The tendency toward the parabolic form is more marked in the 
females than in the males. The height of the palate shows nothing 
exceptional, and there is no torus worthy of notice.

BASE OF THE SKULL 
Glenoid fosse.—In general the glenoid fosse of the Indian skulls 
resemble those among the whites, but there is considerable individual 
variation, particularly in spaciousness of the hollows. Among the 
22 Munsee crania, in 14 the fosse are of ordinary form and of about 
medium dimensions; in one they are narrow antero-posteriorly, in 
4 wide; in 1 case their axis is decidedly oblique, and in 2 the fossz 
differ in depth on the two sides. The wide fosse are more frequent 
in the females.
