5.6 em.). The alveoli of the second incisors and those of all the 
molars are largely obliterated. Judging from the size of the remain- 
ing alveoli, the teeth must have been of somewhat submedium size; 
their number and position were normal. The palate is symmetrical 
and presents nothing extraordinary; its length, from the alveolar 
point to the end of the spine (which is small) is 4.8 em., its maximum 
width 4.1 cm., height, in front of the first molars, where the bone 
has suffered but little change, 1.45 cm. Posterior nares regular, 
shghtly wider near the palate than above; height in middle 2.9, 
width in middle 2.6 em. 
The nasal aperture is regular, of pyriform shape, with sharp bor- 
ders; there are two small subnasal fosse. The nasal index shows a 
low mesorhyny. 
The submalar fossz are well marked. The malars are not massive 
and show no prominence except directly above the fosse just named. 
The orbits are of moderate size and megaseme index; they approach 
the quadrangular shape; borders quite sharp, depth 4.4 em., inter- 
orbital septum 2.65 cm. (27.5 per cent of the line between the orbital 
ends of the malo-frontal sutures). 
Nasal bridge slightly submedium in height, moderately wide. Gla- 
bella quite prominent; the same is true of the ridges which extend 
above the median halves of the orbits. 
The forehead is low, but not sloping. Above the supraorbital 
ridges the frontal bone shows a moderate depression which, in the 
present state of the specimen, is accentuated by the scaling. of the 
outer table of the bone. Frontal eminences ordinary. There is a 
persistence of the metopic suture. Diameter frontal minimum 9.6, 
diameter frontal maximum 12.6 cm.; nasion-bregma are 12.1 em. 
(32.1 per cent of the total nasion-opisthion arc). 
The parietal bones show nothing unusual. The eminences are not 
prominent. Temporal ridges low, scarcely traceable. No parietal 
foramen. Bregma-lambda are 14 cm. (36.8 per cent of the nasion- 
opisthion arc), showing considerable antero-posterior development of 
the bones. 
The occipital bone shows on the left side above the superior ridge a 
moderate bulging, which produces the before-mentioned somewhat 
greater elevation of the superior half of the occipital over the adjoin- 
ing parietal border on that side. The superior occipital ridge and 
inion elevation are well marked. 
The temporal regions show moderate bulging. The squame are 
quite low. The zygome were apparently of only moderate strength. 
Styloids masculine, not very massive. 
Base of the skull: The foramen magnum is, as already stated, 
shghtly irregular; its size is moderate (diameter antero-posterior 
3.65, diameter lateral maximum 3.2 cm.). There is no depression of
