HAWAIIAN SKULLS 



The disposition for the condyloid process to be angulated is more marked 

 in the cave series than in the coast, six examples being found in the former 

 and two only in the latter. 



The partial concealment of the third molar by the base of the coronoid 

 process, thus indicating a disposition for the body of the bone to be short- 

 ened, is present in three of the cave series, and in one only is the molar dis- 

 tinctly in advance of the process. It would be desirable to select a measure 

 by which the relative degree of growth of tlie body of the bone could be 

 fixed. 



The short goniosymphyseal length is well seen in an Hawaiian skull 

 figured by Dumoutier. 



The following tables of measurements of the lower jaw will prove use- 

 ful. Some of the specimens are unaccompanied with the skulls.
