236 REPORTS ON THE STATE OF SCIENCE.—1912. 
25D. Belween the Mycenean and Geometric Periods.—A skull 
with other parts of the skeleton, ‘ found in a coffin.’ The skull is nearly 
complete, the mandible accompanies it and has a bigonial diameter of 
106 mm. The skull is very large in comparison with the others; it is 
- brachycephalic. 
Sex: male. 
Age: senile ; synostosis is advanced, but nearly all the teeth are present; 
the last molars are much smaller than the others. 
Norma verticalis : the contour is bluntly oval; muscular ridges are distinct. 
The prognathism is ‘ subnasal’ and ‘ alveolar,’ not ‘ dental.’ 
Norma lateralis: the brow-ridges are distinct but not massive ; the face is 
slightly prognathous. ‘The prognathism is ‘subnasal’ and ‘alveolar,’ 
not ‘dental,’ the median sagittal curve culminates at the bregma, and 
continues as a plateau for nearly 4 cm. before descending to a 
moderate occipital renflement. The mastoid processes are of moderate 
size. 
Norma facialis: the transverse cranial curve is flattened above; the margins 
of the nasal aperture become indistinct near the spine. 
Norma basilaris: the palate is elliptical; the glenoid fosse are deep; the 
tympanic bones are imperforate. 
Norma occipitalis: the contour is rather pentagonal than circular. The 
skeleton bears signs of spondylitis, the femur has a stout shaft and very 
prominent linea aspera. The index of platymeria is 89-4 (the bone is not 
platymeric). The right tibia measures 346 mm. and has a platyenemic 
index of 69-8. The left tibial index is 73-1. 
48D. Palaikastro—Calvaria with part of face; important, as it is 
broader (cranially) than most (149 mm.); brow-ridges moderate; cal- 
varia distorted by pressure. 
53D. Probably a female; important, because rather broader than 
most of the rest ; brow-ridges insignificant ; distinct occipital renflement ; 
cranial vault culminates at obelion ; base fractured and distorted. 
58D. No remarks; only three measurements made, viz., maximum 
breadth, 147; length, 187; breadth-index, 78°6. 
60D. A small mesaticephalic (it proved to be brachycephalic) » 
female skull; young adult; typically feminine; brow-ridges minimal 
(see sketch) ; no occipital bone remains. 
85D. Senile; it is very prognathous. 
93D. A young skull (not in averages); third molar teeth not yet 
cut; mandible in situ; important, as being rather broader than most 
(173 x 187); breadth-index, 79°6. 
97D. Important as being a broad skull, but very fragile and frag- 
mentary ; sex, male. 
105D. Patema (near Palaikastro).—An adult and brachycephalic 
skull; sex uncertain, but probably female; occipital region flattened, 
but otherwise ‘ well filled ’; synostosed sagittal suture at obelion ; small 
brow-ridges. Quite distinct from the ordinary type. [This specimen 
was not included in the averages, as there was a doubt as to its breadth. 
‘This seemed to be 139 mm., the length being 167, the resulting breadth- 
index would be 83.2. Moreover it is a short skull rather than a broad 
one, and it is therefore more likely to represent the ‘ armenoid’ than 
the ‘ illyrian ’ type of Hawes. ] 
112D. Patema (near Palaikastro).—A broad skull with mandible; 
very fragmentary. [This skull provided no measurements for the
