300 ANALES DE LA SOCIEDAD CIENTÍFICA ARGENTINA 



The nasal suture was in some cases affected about tJie same time^ in 

 others later. Suhsequently synostosis appeared in the temporo-occipital 

 and the lambdoid, and then in the malar articulaMon. The temporo-pa- 

 rietal suture remained potent in all the crania. On the whole, it is plain, 

 the sequences of ohliteration ivas mnch UJce that in the whites ; it is pro- 

 bable^ hotcever, that in some of the California sTculls the synostosis of 

 the coronal suture was more rapdly avanced, or sooner completed » (1). 

 Conviene, pues, hacer notar hoy por hoy, á simple título ilustrativo, 

 que el orden seguido por la sinostosis satural en el cráneo cerebral 

 de los antiguos habitantes del sur de Entre Eíos coincide, en algunas 

 de sus x)articularidades de detalle, con el observado en agrupaciones 

 étnicas no europeas y algunas americanas.
