100 REPORT— 1859. 



The length of this cranium is 7 inches 2 lines (184-0) ; its breadth is 5 inches 

 3 lines (135*0). The alisphenoids join the parietals, and the frontal is un- 

 divided. 



Kocch Tribe. 



Of the two skulls of this tribe, one shows the hypertrophy of the cranial 

 vault to a great degree, with much density of the thickened bone. The 

 other skull measures in length 7 inches 3 lines (185*0), and in breadth 



5 inches (127*0). Both are prognathous, and the malars are slightly promi- 

 nent : in one skull the nasal bones project, in the other they are flat. 



Khampa Tribe. 



This skull shows large and prominent nasals, continued, without indent, 

 from the frontal bone, slightly prominent malars and maxillaries, with a low 

 and narrow forehead, and the following proportions of cranium: — length 



6 inches 10 lines (175*0), breadth 5 inches 6 lines (140*0). The parietals 

 join the alisphenoids, and the frontal is undivided. 



Bagnath Tribe (Nepal proper) (2 skulls). 



One of these skulls is of an adult, the other is of a child. The jaw, in 

 the adult, is slightly prognathous ; the malars are slightly inclined outward ; 

 the nasals are moderately prominent ; the forehead is low and narrow. The 

 length of the cranium is 7 inches (180 0) ; the breadth is 5 inches 6^ lines 

 (142*0). In other characters this skull resembles that of the Khampa tribe. 



Symbhunath Tribe (Hill-man, probably Thibetan). 



The two skulls so marked differ singularly in the development of the nasal 

 bones: in one (1 c) they are very long and prominent; in the other (1 d) 

 they are flat: in the sinuous variety the malar bones are broad and promi- 

 nent, and the jaw is broad and prognathous, giving a Mongolian aspect to 

 the skull ; the other skull conforms to Blumenbach's Caucasian type. In 

 the skull 1 d, the length of the cranium is 7 inches 1 line (180-0); the 

 breadth is 5 inches 5 lines (137*0). The skull 1 c is about 3 lines shorter 

 and 2 lines broader than the other. In both the frontal is undivided, and 

 the alisphenoids join the parietals, the right alisphenoid in 1 c being divided 

 into three wormian bones. 



Bagnath Tribe (Nepal proper). 



The adult skull so marked is prognathous, with a moderate development 

 of the nasal bones, and divergence of the malars at their lower part. The 

 length of the cranium is 7 inches 1 line (180*0); the breadth is 5 inches 

 6 lines (139*0). The alisphenoids join the parietals, and the frontal is undi- 

 vided. In the child's skull the left squamosal sends forward a process dividing 

 the alisphenoid from the parietals. The suture dividing the mastoid from 

 the squamosal is retained. 



Man of the Plains (Ganges : unknown tribe). 



This skull is prognathous, but with a good nasal development ; the malars 

 are scarcely prominent. The length of the cranium is 7 inches 2 lines 

 (183*0); the breadth is 5 inches (128*0). The alisphenoids join the parie- 

 tals, and the frontal is undivided. This skull shows a strong occipital spine. 



Fakir (Bengal Islamite). 

 This skull is prognathous, with a less nasal development, but yet good : a
