E.—PAIUTE SKULL FROM NEVADA (NO. 243817) 
(Plate xvit, 0) 
An undeformed and in no way diseased skull of an adult male. No trace 
remains of the basilar suture, but the remaining cranial and facial sutures are 
all open. 
The specimen is quite heavy and bears evidence of strong, though not exces- 
sive, musculature. It shows a prominent glabella; moderate masculine supra- 
orbital ridges (limited to the median two-thirds of the supraorbital space) ; 
a gradually sloping, low forehead with only a trace of frontal bend and no 
sign of frontal eminences; and a median elevation which extends over the upper 
four-fifths of the frontal squama and up to obelion along the sagittal suture, 
giving the top of the skull a secaphoid appearance. 
The face presents a rather marked alveolar prognathism. The lower jaw 
shows no special features. The teeth were of ordinary size (all are now broken 
owing to exposure). The denture in the upper jaw is anomalous, there being 
three supernumerary teeth; one of these existed between the median incisors, 
and the second between the left lateral incisors and somewhat anterior thereto, 
while there is a socket on the left also for a somewhat diminutive extra tooth in 
the rear of the three molars. Notwithstanding the presence of.19 teeth in the 
upper jaw, the dental arch and palate are quite symmetrical, and there is 
nothing to correspond with the anomalies in the lower maxilla,
