tlie presence of only tlie one body is ascertained. The important 

 skeletal bones are the femora, ossa innominata, and sacrum, and all 

 are those of a young person. The femora are much weathered, and 

 the epiphyses had not at the time of death joined the shafts of the 

 bones, but were among the bones recovered, and where those of the 

 right femur were placed in situ the whole bone thus set up measured 

 415 mm. 



The ossa innominata are not fully developed, the three primary 

 divisions ilium, ischium, and pubes, all existing as separate bones. 



Tlie Sacrum. — The body of this bone is in good preservation, and 

 is rather broad and flat, lateral masses absent, the fourth and fifth 

 segments are united, but all the rest are detached. 



From the condition of these bones and the skull it may be con- 

 cluded that they belonged to a young person under seventeen years of 

 age, and most probably a female. 



On account of the weathered condition of the skull, and the youth 

 of the subject, the cranial measurements are not very valuable, but 

 are given here in case they may prove of interest. 



Calculating from the length of the right femur, the stature was 

 1482 mm., or about 4 feet 10 inches.
