difference. The Lapp liead approaches more decidedly the 

 stone skull of Borreby (see fig. 101) than the Romanic skull 

 (see %. 126).

It is true that in the Lapp skull the frontal protuberance is 

 scarcely indicated ; the forehead is much higher and more 

 archedj the vertex more situated in front, the occiput more pro- 

 jecting, and there is something like a break in the lambdoid 

 suture ; the nasal root is less drawn in, and the front teeth are 

 perpendicular, whilst in the Borreby skull, the alveolar mar- 

 gins of the upper jaw shew a decided tendency to prognathism, 

 which, if the teeth were not wanting, would be plainly seen; 

 but it must not be forgotten that the skull of Borreby which I 

 give is that which presents these characters in the greatest 

 degree, and that in the rich collection of drawings from the 

 stone period, kindly sent me by Professor Busk, I find some 

 which almost exactly correspond to the Lapp skull. Thus, 

 apart from size, which is somewhat greater in the stone skull, 

 a female skull of Borreby, marked No. 1, all but covers in 

 profile the Lapp skull.
