ARCHAOLOGICAL AND ETHNOLOGICAL RESEARCHES IN CRETE. 245 
Norma latera:is : slight brow-ridges, distinct occipital renflement ; muscular 
impressions minimal. The mastoid processes are small; the cranial 
height is not great; the specimen is thus tapeinocephalic. It re- 
sembles several of the Palaikastro skulls, and some others of Mycenzan 
antiquity ; but it is not remarkably dolichocephalic. 
Norma facialis : the transverse cranial arc is regular in front of the bregma ; 
behind are slight parietal flattenings. 
Norma basilaris: capacious frontal sinuses ; the tympanic bones are im- 
perforate ; the styloid processes are very small. 
Norma occipitalis : the outline is pentagonal but the angles are rounded off. 
27aD. Miscellanea. 
1. Gournia.—A number of fragmentary limb bones were found at 
Gournia on March 23, 1903. These bones had been removed from 
tombs (not larnakes) of probably Mycenzan age, by the workmen 
under the direction of Miss Boyd (now Mrs. Hawes). The bones are 
as arule small. The femora are pilastered, and there are two very 
platymeric examples; they have an ‘ external flange.’ Of the twelve 
tibie, two are platycnemic. 
2. Kalybia.—lragments of limb bones from the larnakes dis- 
covered at Kalybia and excavated by Dr. Xanthodides, have an appear- 
ance similar to the bones from Gournia.

PALAIKASTRO: CoMPARTMENT I. 
Skull 26D. In fragments. 
» 27D. Fragmentary ; a large massive skull with prominent brows ; very dolicho- 
cephalic (206x141. Index 68-3). 
PaLAIKASTRO: ComPARTMENT IT. bs 
» 35D. A dolichocephalic skull embedded in gypsum for transport. 
» 36D. A very dolichocephalic skull. 
. 37D. Very fragmentary ; measurements not in averages; they are approxi- 
mately as follows: length 164 mm., breadth 118 mm., index 72. 
; 38D. Cranium p!aced on its side; no other notes, save that it was measured 
and packed in gypsum for transport to Candia. 
» 39D. No notes; three measurements only. 
PanLATKASTRO : COMPARTMENT IIT. 
» 45D. A long oval skull; moderate brow-ridges ; male (typical). 
» 46D. A small but adult female skull. 
» 47D. A small (probably female) skull; dolichocephalic ; brow-ridges insig- 
nificant ; much compressed laterally. 
» 49D. A very long, narrow male skull; elongated more than naturally by 
pressure ; brow-ridges moderate ; slight occipital renflement. 
» 50D. Long skull of an adult male ; slightly distorted ; top broken in, moderate 
brow-ridges ; slight occipital renflement. 
» 51D. A small dolichocephalic female skull, possessing the general characters 
of the series. 
» 52D. A small skull, apparently dolichocephalic, but so distorted by pressure 
as to preclude a confident statement. 
», 54D. Probably female ; long and rather rhomboid ; brow-ridges slight ; occi- 
pital renflement distinct ; mastoids of moderate size. 
» 55D. Very perfect adult male skull; base somewhat distorted; mandible 
preserved ; subnasal prognathism, otherwise typical features. 
» 56D, A small female skull, interesting because it is a narrow skull compressed 
(posthumously) so as to appear broad.
