THE COLLECTION OF OSTEOLOGICAL MATERL-VL FROM MACHU PICCHU. 



The bones (Ost. Coll. 3162) are all of small size, and presumably belong- to one individual, 

 an adult female. They comprise a mandible, a scapula, the bones of one arm, a tibia and a 

 fibula. The cave contained also the shell of a large land snail, probably an edible species 

 from the Indian point of view. No pottery was observed.
