FOURTH REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR I907 



lOT 



Specimen 4548; a mesaticephalic female skull found in ossuary 

 9. It is in a fair state of preservation although it is very fragile. 

 It is that of a female of perhaps mature years. The teeth are 

 entirely lacking, those on the upper jaw having undoubtedly been 

 lost during the process of reinterment. In the lower jaw the 

 canines and incisors were the only ones remaining at the time of 

 death. The matrices of the other teeth have closed. Upon the 

 cranium, the sutures though distinct have lost their intricacies, but 

 none of the bones have affected synostosis.
