218 REPORTS ON THE STATE OF SCIENCE.—1914, 
evidence has been obtained before of attempted mummification of a 
body which was not buried in the fully extended position. 
While in Egypt I took the opportunity of comparing the Saqqara 
skulls directly with the type collection of Predynastic skulls in the 
Anatomical Museum of the Cairo School of Medicine, and also with 
skulls of the Fourth and Fifth Dynasties at Dr. George Reisner’s 
excavations (for Harvard University and Boston Museum) at the 
Giza Pyramids. 
For convenience of comparison I have followed the plan and used 
the notation explained in the Report on the Archeological Survey of 
Nubia (1910), vol. i., p. 40.

Human Remains. 
2102 F.* Man about forty-five years of age, with well-defined 
alien traits.t Buried in a small mastaba with degraded stair placed 
alongside a big mastaba. A very big, broad, full ovoid calvaria, with 
large bregmatic bone and squarish orbits, and narrow high-bridged 
nose. The rest of the face and mandible are missing (that is, were 
not gaved by Mr. Quibell). LL. (maximum length of cranium in milli- 
métres) 205, B (maximum breadth of cranium) 146, F.B. (minimal 
frontal breadth) 98, H. 135, L.O. 38 x 34. 
2104 G. A man with a short and very perfect, well-filled ovoid 
skull, which does not conform to the Egyptian type; rounded orbits ; 
long narrow nose; jaw of distinctly alien type. L.176, B. 139, H. 137

N. 50 x 23, R.O. 39. x 35, L.0. 36 x 84. 
2164 J. A characteristic example of the type of skull (male) alien 
to Egypt, which was found at Giza and also at the Biga Cemetery at 
Nubia. It has large, obliquely placed, squarish orbits; prominent 
narrow-bridged nose, with very projecting sharp margins and long 
nasal spine; a broad face with the zygomatic arches curved strongly 
outward; a jaw with a wide chin; and a ramus which is narrow, 
moderately high, and has a big coronoid process. The skull is a 
short, broad, full ovoid; there is a straight line of brow and nose; 
very deep conceptaculz cerebelli, associated .with manifestation of 
an occipital vertebra. L.174, B.134, F.B.93, H.136, Biz. 130,

L.0. 87°5x36, N. 515x205, Big. 102°5. Femur, rough estimate 
of length, 486. One molar is carious, and there is widespread but 
slight periostitis of the leg-bones and pelvis. The pelvis and leg- 
bones are very big and massive. ©

The skull is a broad, flat ovoid (or beloid), with markedly sloping 
forehead, the profile passing without break into the nose (‘ Greek

* In using the term ‘alien traits’ I refer to features which are foreign to 
the Proto-Egyptian people as well as to the Brown Race in general. In most 
cases—as for example this instance—these foreign features, such as ‘a very big, 
broad, full ovoid calvaria,’ ‘squarish orbits,’ and ‘narrow high-bridged nose’ 
are distinctive of the Armenoid population of Western Asia.
