106 OBSERVATIONS ON EGYPTIAN ETHNOGRAPHY, 
Plate VIIL., Fig. 6. (Cat. 883.) A well developed cranium, with a long straight nose. 
A man of forty?—I. C. 82 cubic inches. F. A. 81°. Egyptian form. 
(Cat. 888.) Head of a man of thirty-five years? 
most carefully embalmed, with a high frontal region, 
and very long prominent angular face.—I. C. 85 cubic 
inches. Egyptian blended with Negro or Malay linea- 
ments? The conformation of this head is not unlike 
that of some modern Nubians. 
Plate VIII., Fig. 7. (Cat. 880.) A female head? 
- of a fine oval form, long, straight nose, and quadran- 
gular orbits. ‘The angles of the lower jaw are re- 
markably expanded. The hair, which is cut short, 
is fine, and of a dark-brown colour.—I. C. 85 cubic 
inches. F. A. 80°. Egyptian form. 
Plate VIII., Fig. 8. (Cat. 867.) A large head with a broad convex frontal region, 
and full occiput. The nose is large and remarkably salient, and the maxillary bones 
projecting and ponderous. A little soft, dark-brown hair is attached to some remaining 
fragments of the scalp.—I. C. 86 cubic inches. F. A. 78°. Egyptian form. 
This person has evidently undergone decapitation, and in order to attach the head 
again to the body, a ball of mummy cloth has been formed on the end of a piece of reed 
within the cranium, and the other end has been thrust between the spine and adjacent 
muscles, and confined there by bandages. There is also an excision of the occipital pro- 
tuberance, by means of an axe or other sharp instrument, seemingly made by an unskil- 
ful effort to sever the head from the body. 
Plate VIIL, Fig. 9. (Cat. 855.) Head of a female not exceeding eighteen years of 
age, with a finely developed forehead, very long aquiline nose, small but prominent face, 
and very peculiar features. Hair, dark-brown, and extremely fine. ‘The face is gilded. 
—I. C.'78 cubic inches. Egyptian form. 
(Cat. 874.) Head of a child of nine or ten years, closely shaved and elaborately gilded, 
with a high, full forehead, projecting jaws, and oblique teeth. Kgyptian blended mith 
the Negro form? 
(Cat. 48.) Skull of a child of eight years, with a fine frontal region, but rather pro- 
minent face. Hair long, and of a dark brown colour. Egyptian form. 
Plate IX. (Cat. 856.) A cranium of harmonious proportions, with a fine forehead, 
gently aquiline nose, delicate facial bones, and perfect teeth. A man of thirty?—I. C. 92 
cubic inches. F. A. 80°. Egypto-Pelasgic form. 
Plate X., Fig. 1. (Cat. 844.) A finely formed female head, with a straight nose, 
and delicate facial bones. Hair abundant, soft, and curling.—I. C. 68 cubic inches. 
Egyptian form. 
Plate X., Fig. 2. (Cat. 872.) A woman of fifty ?—with a low receding forehead, and 
prominent facial structure. Hair abundant, long, and very fine, of a light brown or 
auburn colour, and elaborately curled and platted.—I. C. 72 cubic inches. Egyptian 
form. 
Plate X., Fig. 3. (Cat. 862.) Head of a man of sixty, with a broad receding forehead,
