SKULL NO. X 
This is the skull of an approximately 6-year-old child, found by Mr. Gilder 
buried rather superficially in the Gilder mound. It is apparently quite recent, 
well developed, thin, and decidedly brachycephalic. A small portion of the 
occipital bone above the foramen magnum has been cut away in nearly a straight 
line, with some sharp instrument. The color of this specimen is brownish yellow, 
not radically different from that of other bones in the mound. 
FRONTAL BONE 
This specimen was recovered in two widely separated pieces from the Gil- 
der mound by Professor Barbour. It lay 4 feet below the surface. It is a por- 
tion of an adult, and apparently normal, male skull, of medium thickness. It 
shows moderate masculine ridges and glabella, and a quite well vaulted fore- 
head. Diameter frontal minimum, 9.6 ecm. Color agrees with that of other 
specimens from the mound. No fossilization. 
LOWER JAW ®% 
Found in Gilder mound by Professor Barbour, at the depth of 4 feet. It is 
the jaw of a young subject (posterior molars not yet erupted) and shows in 
every way an ordinary Indian form. The chin is square, fairly prominent. 
The dental arch indicates moderate prognathism. The teeth were all lost after 
death exeept three of the molars, which are of moderate size and normal form; 
the anterior molars show each five cusps; the one median molar presents four, 
as usual in modern skulls. The enamel looks fresh. The bone shows no trace 
of fossilization. 
The point of the left coronoid process had been cut off with some sharp 
instrument. 
PORTION OF LOWER JAW 
Found “deep” in the Gilder mound by Professor Barbour. The fragment 
consists of about two-thirds of the left horizontal ramus, without the chin or 
angle. The jaw was apparently masculine and rather strong, but, so far as
