of orbit, 35 mm ; breadth of orbit, 37 mm ; sagittal-cranial arc, 344 mm ; 

 circumference, 503 mm ; bigonial breadth, 89 mm ; bicondylar breadth, 

 132 mm ; length of ramus, 47 mm ; breadth of ramus, 34 mm. Teeth 

 only slightly worn. Cavity in left second lower premolar. The right 

 ulna is 272 mm long. None of the other long bones give complete 

 measurements. 



Skeleton No. 3. — Adult female. Skull : Maximum length, 171 mm ; 

 maximum breadth, 142 mm ; cephalic index, 83 ; glabella-inion length, 

 163 mm; nasal length, 48 mm; length of orbit, 32.5 mm; breadth of 

 orbit, 39 mm; breadth of occipital foramen, 29 mm; circumference, 

 494 mm ; bigonial breadth, 98 mm ; bicondylar breadth, 119 mm ; length 

 of ramus, 57 mm. Teeth only slightly worn but all erupted. Long 

 bones : Eight humerus, 299 mm ; left humerus, 301 mm ; right femur, 

 428 mm ; left femur, 427 mm ; left tibia, 355 mm. Epiphyses of ulnae 

 and radii missing so that measurements are impossible. A young 

 individual. 



Skeleton No. 4- — Adult male. Skull : Maximum length, 168 mm ; 

 maximum breadth, 163 mm ; cephalic index, 97 ; glabella-inion length, 

 157 mm ; height, 132 mm ; nasal length, 535 mm ; length of orbit, 35 mm ; 

 breadth of orbit, 42 mm ; length of occipital foramen, 33.5 mm ; sagit- 

 tal-cranial arc, 329 mm; circumference, 517 mm; bigonial breadth, 

 118 mm; bicondylar breadth, 128 mm; length of ramus, 62 mm; 

 breadth of ramus, 34 mm. Long bones : Right humerus, 338 mm ; left 

 humerus, 337 mm ; right ulna, 277 mm ; left ulna, 277 mm ; right radius, 

 260 mm ; left radius, 261 mm ; right femur, 458 mm ; right tibia, 389 

 mm; left tibia, 387 mm; right fibula, 379 mm; left fibula, 378 mm. 

 This old man must have been in bad physical condition since practi- 

 cally all of the bones of his skeleton show some pathological condition. 

 His lumbar vertebrae are fused and lipped, bone destruction is evident 

 in the femora, radii, innominate, and wrist bones, fusing has occurred 

 in the bones of the hand, extensive periostitis has involved most of the 

 base of the skull, and some sort of osteomyelitis has completely de- 

 stroyed the left acetabulum and the head of the left femur. In addi- 

 tion, he had a bad case of pyorrhea, with an excess of bony deposit on 

 the mandible; he had three large molar cavities and his skull was 

 deformed. Aside from this, he was apparently all right — so far as 

 his bones were concerned. It is hoped that other tissues of his body 

 were not as badly diseased as his skeleton. Illustrations and technical 

 descriptions of the above-mentioned pathological conditions are given 

 in a later section of this report. 



Skeleton No. 5. — Adult female. Skull : Maximum length, 151 mm ; 

 maximum breadth, 158 mm; cephalic index, 104.6; glabella-inion 

 length, 148 mm ; height, 135 mm ; nasal length, 47 mm ; length of orbit, 

 34 mm ; breadth of orbit, 41 mm ; sagittal-cranial arc, 315 mm ; circum-
