240 REPORTS ON THE STATE OF SCIENCE.—1912. 
Norma facialis: scaphocephaly is distinct, with marked areas of flattening 
on each side of the sagittal suture. This gives an ‘ ill-filled ’ appearance 
to the specimen. 
Norma basilaris : no observations, the base being absent. . 
Norma occipitalis: the contour is pentagonal; the small vertical height 
and the consequently flat appearance of the cranial part of the skull, 
is again remarked. 
8D (Figs. 3, 4, 5).—A cranium without the face or mandible; very 
brittle texture; the base has been destroyed. 
Sex: female. 
Age: adult, but not senile ; synostosis is extensive in the coronal as well 
as the sagittal suture. 
General features: typically feminine. 
Norma verticalis: very long and narrow; no irregularities of surface ; 
‘ well-filled ’ aspect. 
Norma lateralis: the cranial cavity is of moderate height; brow-ridges 
not prominent ; forehead high; the sagittal curve culminates 2 cm. 
behind the bregma ; occipital renflement slight ; the mastoid processes 
are small ; the alisphenoid joins the parietal at the pterion. 
Norma facialis: the transverse arc is regular and rounded; the facial 
width was evidently very small. 
Norma basilaris: the great length is again apparent; the left tympanic 
bone is perforated. 
Norma occipitalis : the contour is rounded, not pentagonal. 
9D (Fig. 6).—Cranium with part of face; mandible absent, base 
destroyed ; surface much pitted and grooved by rootlets. 
Sex: female. 
Age: adult; cranial sutures are not synostosed: 
Teeth: three molar teeth (right, M!, M?; left, M?) remain; the sockets 
for the roots of the last molar teeth (1*) show that these were smaller 
than the other molars. 
General features: typically feminine; resembles a skull from Erganos 
figured by Sergi. 
Norma verticalis : the cranium is long, narrow, and rather byrsoid. Large 
but distinct parietal eminences contribute to the latter character ; 
muscular attachments hardly recognisable. 
Norma lateralis: orthognathous; slight brow-ridges; distinct area of 
flattening along vertex from 2 cm. in front of bregma to 4 cm. behind 
that point; slight occipital renflement ; conformation of occiput is 
feminine ; no ridges; mastoid processes small; at the pterion the 
alisphenoid joins the parietal bone ; the cranium is tapeinocephalic. 
Norma facialis: the transverse arc is rounded; the face is narrow; the 
maxillz small; the orbits are megaseme ; the nasal aperture mesor- 
rhine with small sub-nasal grooves ; the canine fosse are deep. 
Norma basilaris: the great length of the skull is apparent; the palate is 
long and narrow ; the glenoid fosse are deep, and both tympanic bones 
are imperforate. 
Norma occipitalis: the contour is nearly pentagonal, owing to the promi- 
nence of the parietal eminences. 
10D.—A cranium without the face or mandible; the specimen has 
been reconstructed from fragments. 
Sex: female; muscular ridges inconspicuous. 
Age: fully adult ; not senile. 
Norma verticalis: dolichocephalic; just cryptozygous; full synostosis 
in sagittal, coronal, and lambdoid sutures; very slight ‘annular’ 
compression near ‘coronal suture (clinocephaly),. 
Norma lateralis: brows not prominent; forehead vertical; the median 
sagittal arc culminates about 4 cm. behind the bregma; distinct 
occipital bulging ; mastoid processes small.
