scarcely indicated. The lambdoidal suture shows two Wormian bones 

 where it joins the sagittal, one being situated to the right, the other to 

 the left of the latter, measuring 2"" .2 and 3<^™ .2, respectively. Another 

 but smaller Wormian bone may be noticed, where the left lambdoidal 

 joins the squamous suture. The mastoid processes are rather obtuse 

 and small, the digastric fossa of the left being longer and deeper than 

 that of the right, while the right mastoid foramen is larger and situated 

 somewhat higher than the one opposite. The parietal eminences are 

 not very distinct, although they may be recognized by viewing the skull 

 from above ; the temporal ridges are not indicated at all, and the right 

 parietal foramen is situated before the left one and is about twice as large. 

 Coronal suture rather straight, without many serrations. The frontal 

 bone is without any median ridge or trace of suture, the eminences are 

 but slightly developed, the superciliary ridges scarcely indicated, and 

 the temporal ridges only well marked in the vicinity of the supra-orbital 

 arches. The angle formed by the nasal bones with the frontal, and the 

 curvature of the nasal bones are rather flat, nasal meatus rather round, 

 anterior nasal spine moderately protruding. The number of teeth in 

 the upjier jaw complete, the last molars on each side in the act of erup- 

 tion. Teeth rather small, with the exception of the incisors, which are 

 directed much more obliquely forward than downward; canines smaller 

 than the incisors; only the crowns of second and third molars ground 

 flat; the other teeth of the upper jaw scarcely showing any wear, while 

 the incisors of the lower bear the marks of extensive use; not so, how- 

 ever, the molars, which are almost intact, at least those on the left side. 

 Symi>hysis of the lower jaw scarcely visible, mental process tolerably 

 developed, and incisive fossa of the right deeper than that of the left. 

 External oblique line only well indicated near the anterior border of 

 the ramus. Coronal process rather pointed ; insertion of the internal 

 pterygoid muscle less than usually rough.

The skull designated by this number is rather thin, and was broken 

 into a number of small fragments when brought from the field, and the 

 pieces themselves were very fragile. It could, however, be sufhcieutly 

 well restored to convey a good idea of its general features, which are 

 decidedly masculine and even animal-like. 



* The zygomatic bones being broken, the zygomatic diameter could only be ascer- 

 tained approximately. Probable error — ± I'^'^.S.
