farther up being compensated partly by the left nasal and partly by the nasal pro- 
cess of the right superior maxilla. In male skull No. 225.141 the glenoid fossa, 
especially the right, are unusually narrow antero-posteriorly. | | 
Dental and numerous other minor anomalies will be referred to later. 
In their anthropological characteristics the bones from Boytt's Field do not 
show differences, either in proportions or in form, clearly enough to enable separation 
into more than one type. Yet the skulls are not homogeneous. All the normal 
crania, and a number of those the shape of which has been artificially altered, 
belong clearly to the brachycephalic type of people known already from the Menard 
and Greer cemeteries. A number of the deformed skulls, however, show distinetly 
that, were it not for the artificial shortening, they would have to be classed as 
mesocephalie or even as dolichocephalie. It is these skulls which remind one so 
forcibly of the cranial type known from some of the Pueblos. In the further treat- 
ment of the material it would be desirable to separate these skulls and the related 
bones from the crania and bones of the brachycephals; but, as the identification of 
these specimens, and particularly of the bones from the skeletons where no skull is 
present, is uncertain, and as there are probably also present intermediate forms due 
to admixture, such separation is not practicable. 
Measurements.—The data obtained by measuring the skulls have been sepa- 
rated, as in last year's report, into several convenient groups. Тһе tables (pp. 176, 
177) present those that relate more directly to the form of the skull.
