Fig. 6 has been devised for the purpose of comparing the frontal contour, 

 the glabella-bregma chord and the bregmatic angle (BGI) of the Piltdown 

 cranium (Smith Woodward's first reconstruction) with those of the Micmac 

 skull. It will be noted that though the Piltdown bregmatic angle (50°) 

 is smaller, yet its frontal cranial curvature shows a greater superiority and 

 thus does not fall much short of the Micmac cranial outUne. GB & GI re- 

 present the glabeUa-bregma and glabella-inion Unes respectively. 



68°. The angle in this Micmac skull was greater than that 

 recently recorded by the writer (0 in two New Hebrides Me- 

 lanesian skulls (55° and 59°) and exhibited a pronounced 

 superiority over those of the Java calvaria (37.5°) and the
