Cunningham & Browne — Osseous Remains al Braij. 423 



eminences. Vertex, rather flattened. This specimen is mesati- 

 cephalic (index, 79-4). Nose, evidently leptorhine. Orbits, mega- 

 seme. Sutures, simple, with the exception of the lambdoid, which is 

 somewhat complex, and contains five ossa wormiana. Palate, deep. 

 Teeth, all present at time of death, large, and much worn on the 

 crowns, as is generally the case in most old Irish specimens. A small 

 supernumerary tooth exists just external to the interval between the 

 second and third molars on the left side. This cranium is in a fair 

 state of preservation, but has lost a small portion of the inferior part 

 of the occipital bone. 



[c] 



Cranium of an adult female, presenting some masculine charac- 

 ters. Forehead, upright, with well-marked frontal eminences. 

 Vertex, rather flattened. Glabella and superciliary ridges well 

 developed, but mastoid processes small, mesaticephalic (index, 78-2). 

 Face, broad, with nearly square orbits, which appear to be set rather 

 wide apart. Nasal bones, narrow. Sutures, open, very complex, 

 containing eight large ossa wormiana. No mutilations. 



[n.] 



Remains of a cranium much mutilated, the only parts of any 

 value now remaining being the os frontis to which the facial bones are 

 attached : evidently from a male subject. Glabella and superciliary 

 ridges, large. Face, narrow. Orbits, large, and oblong in shape. 

 Nose, leptorhine, with high, narrow nasal bones. Palate, deep, hyper- 

 bolic. Teeth, all sound, but much worn on crowns. 



Group II. consists of the following bones : — 



(1) A right temporal bone, undoubtedly belonging to a male 



subject. It presents two points of interest, the presence 

 of a paramastoid process, and that lateral bulging of the 

 mastoid process, which has recently been observed in some 

 modern crania from the west coast. 



(2) The fragments of two scapulae, both belonging to the right 



side. 



(3) The inner extremity of the left clavicle. 



(4) Upper extremity of a right humerus and the lower extremity 



of a left humerus, not perforated.
