averages: it seems to have measured about 165 mm. x 138 mm.; this 
would give a breadth-index of about 83°6. Again this would be more like 
the ‘armenoid’ than the ‘ illyrian’ type of Hawes.] 
113D. Patema (near Palaikastro).—A very large adult male skull, 
very fragmentary ; perforated by rootlets of shrubs; brow-ridges small ; 
occipital renflement not marked. [ It is introduced here on account of the 
comparatively large figure representing its breadth; the measurements 
are—length, 199; breadth, 146; breadth-index, 73°4.] 
123D. Patema (near Palaikastro).—A large adult male skull; sagit- 
tal suture closed by synostosis; brow-ridges moderate ; occipital renfle- 
ment moderate; mastoids of moderate size; high frontal arch; orbits 
microsemic ; this skull is rather broader than most in this series. 
139D. Palaikastro.—A large adult male calvaria: occipital renfle- 
ment moderate ; the front part of the calvaria having been broken away, 
a false impression of shortness is given. The skull was probably long. 
143D. A distinctly broad ovoid skull; adult male, moderate size: 
complete sagittal synostosis; neither brow-ridges nor occipital renfle- 
ment marked. 
145D. An aged male skull of moderate size; brow-ridges marked ; 
occipital renflement not marked; prognathous. Complete sagittal synos- 
tosis. This skull is much more like a certain Egyptian form than any 
yet seen ; but the nasal bones are not negroid, although the nasal aperture 
is wide. This specimen and No. 143D are distinct from the prevailing 
type; they are broader and rather byrsoid. They probably constitute a 
mesatice phalic sub-type. 
154D. Agios Nikolaos.—Fragmentary skull of a child of about 
six years of age; complete premature synostosis of the sagittal suture, 
without apparent deformation of the cranial form. The specimen is, 
however, actually broader than most of the adult crania.

and Broad Specimens described in Appendix A. 
Brief descriptions of the crania found in East Crete in 1903. Note 
that in the last series (ten or more in number) the descriptions have 
been published already® and need not be repeated here. For the most 
part the descriptions are arranged in the numerical order of the 
specimens. But from the whole series under review nineteen speci- 
mens have been removed, and the descriptions of these are brought 
together in the preceding sub-section of this part of the report.
