right side in the lower jaw may be noted the absence of one incisor, due 
apparently to nundevelopment; on the left there are two incisors, both small. 
The third molars, now absent, must have been small; their cavities show a 
single root of rather submedium proportions.

SKULL NO. 2 
A very defective adult specimen, found in Gilder mound, by Mr. Gilder, at a 
depth of about 5 feet; sex uncertain, though probably female; color dirty 
yellowish, ventrally and to a slight extent dorsally with spots of blackish dis- 
coloration; no fossilization, no aspect of great antiquity ; cranium of good size, 
normal; shape oblong, contours rounded, outline of posterior plane approaching 
pentagonal; supraorbital ridges above medium feminine, or submedium mascu- 
line, limited to median half of each supraorbital space. Forehead low but 
vault-bend distinct (above the bend the bone slopes backward); diameter 
Maximum (along coronal suture), approximately 11.6 ¢m., nasion-bregma are 
12.7 cm. No sagittal ridge. Thickness of left parietal 3 to 5 mm. Sutures 
(coronal, sagittal) patent, serration fair. No brain impressions ventrally. 
Siete NOs io 
A good-sized adult female cranium (defective) showing a slight asymmetry, 
otherwise normal. Discovered by Mr. Gilder in the mound now named after 
him; exact depth of find uncertain, but probably not more than 4 feet. Color 
pale dirty yellowish; no fossilization—has the appearance of a fairly recent 
specimen. | Was apparently dolichocephalic; greatest length 18.9 or 19 em. 
The contours of the skull are but little angular. The supraorbital ridges are 
of about medium feminine size. The forehead is of moderate height and fairly 
good vaulting; the right side is somewhat more prominent than the left. 
Diameter frontal minimum 8.6, frontal maximum 11.1 cm., nasion-bregma are 
12.1. There is scarcely any sagittal elevation. The temporal ridges are but 
slightly marked and are distant from the median line. The glenoid foss:e are 
deep. <A slight dehiscence, such as occurs quite frequently in the Indian, is 
seen in the floor of the left auditory meatus. All the remaining sutures are 
patent, serration submedium. Thickness of left parietal 4+ to 5 mm. 
SKULL NO. 4 
Only the frontal and parts of the parietals remain. Found “deep” (though 
less than 6 feet from the surface) in the mound by Mr. Gilder. It is appar- 
ently a good-sized adult normal male skull. Color dirty yellowish, with some
