910 BEPORT ON AN ADDITIONAL COLLECTION OF SKELETAL 
In female skull 255.130, Arkansas, both upper third molars are of sub-medium 
dimensions. 
In male skull 255.107, Louisiana, the upper third molars are sub-medium in 
size. 
In male skull 255.115, Louisiana, there is a moderate crowding of the upper 
front teeth. 
In male skull 255.210, Louisiana, the right lower third molar points forward 
and upward, while the left upper third molar is of sub-medium size. 
In female skull 255.116, Louisiana, the right upper third molar is diminutive. 
In female skull 255.202, Louisiana, the upper third molars are sub-medium in 
size. | 
In female skull 255.216, Louisiana, there is a supernumerary tooth between 
the right upper lateral incisor and canine; it is smaller than the incisor, but much 
like it in form. 
Diseased Teeth —Decayed teeth, while not very common or numerous, are 
nevertheless quite frequent in the Louisiana crania, and in even a greater degree 
the same is true of teeth lost during life, doubtless due to caries in the great 
majority of cases. The conditions in this respect, so far as could be ascertained, 
are as follows :

or lost during life |

It was not possible in all cases to determine the sequence of the decay; it is 
nevertheless plain that among the people of both Louisiana and Arkansas, the first 
teeth affected by caries, both in frequency and time, were the molars, then the bi- 
cuspids, lastly the more anterior teeth. Regarding the latter, only one case of 
caries was observed in the canines, and the incisors that remain are all healthy, 
but in many instances the loss of one or more of these teeth makes the observation 
incomplete.

MEASUREMENTS AND DESCRIPTION OF THE BONES. 
Bones other than Skulls. 
The measurements and observations concerning the Arkansas and Louisiana 
bones will be most conveniently presented together, as are the descriptive notes on 
the crania of the two series. Like the skulls, they present many similarities. There 
are slight differences here and there, but on the whole the data regarding both the
