Specimen 4550; an adult mature male. The facial portion is 

 missing and was probably lost during the process of ossuary burial. 

 The sutures are distinct but the coronal is in an advanced stage of 

 synostosis. On either side this suture is not visible below the tem- 

 poral ridge except for a centimeter on the right side. The left 

 orbit has a wide supraorbital notch which the right does not present. 

 The supraorbital ridges are similar to those on the other male 

 skulls and . the glabella full. The frontal dome slopes back and 

 there are no eminences. On the right side of the temporal, the 

 squamous suture has united posteriorly with the parietal for a dis- 

 tance of 25 millimeters. On either side the alesphenoid has united 

 with the parietal. On the right the temporal ridge is not well de- 

 veloped although on the left it is plainly visible. There is a Worm- 

 ian bone at the point of union between the parietals and the occip- 

 ital bone, and two a centimeter above the point where the superior 

 temporal line touches the lambdoid suture.
