Macalister — On Crania of Natives of the Solomon Islands. 779 



"The principal measurements are : — 



"Circumference, ....... 500mm. 



Length (ophryon to occipital point), . . . 178 ,, 

 Breadth^ (interparietal), . . . . . 134 ,, 



Cephalic Index = 753, and therefore ml-dolico-cephalic. 



Nasal height, ...... 



Nasal width, ...... 



48 mm. 

 22 .. 



Nasal Index = 458, and therefore leptorhime. 



Orbital width, . . . . . , , 37mm. 

 Orbital height, . . • . . . . 35 ,, 



Orbital Index = 946, and therefore megaseme. 



"In consequence of the absence of the base of the skull, neither the 

 Capacity, the Alveolar Index, nor the Height Index, could be accu- 

 rately measured. An approximate estimate, however, for the Height 

 Index would give 770 as the number. Although no attempt could be 

 made to determine the Alveolar Index, it is very evident that the face 

 was prognathous." 



- The inter-temporal breadth is the same.
