mm; maximum breadth, 163 mm; cephalic index, 107; length of 

 ramus, 56 mm ; breadth of ramus, 30 mm. 



Skeleton No. 26. — Full-grown but young female. Most of the long 

 bones lack epiphyses so that total lengths can not be obtained. Su- 

 tural areas of skull bones disintegrated. The following measure- 

 ments are all that are available: Skull: Maximum length, 153 mm; 

 maximum breadth, 165 mm ; cephalic index, 107 ; glabella-inion length, 

 151 mm. Long bones: Right femur, 423 mm; left femur, 424 mm; 

 right tibia, 355 mm ; left tibia, 363 mm. 



Skeleton No. 27. — Adult. Probably female. Skull in bad condi- 

 tion and only the following measurements obtainable: Height, 143 

 mm ; nasal length, 56 mm ; length of orbit, 36 mm ; breadth of orbit, 

 40 mm ; bigonial breadth, 115 mm ; length of ramus, 55 mm ; breadth 

 of ramus, 35 mm. Teeth worn and showing several cavities. Ver- 

 tebrae, flat and long bones well preserved. Long bones: Right 

 humerus, 318 mm; left humerus, 314 mm; right ulna, 267 mm; left 

 ulna, 265 mm; right radius, 251 mm; left radius, 248 mm; right 

 femur, 451 mm; left femur, 448 mm; right tibia, 383 mm; left tibia, 

 378 mm; left fibula, 356 mm. 



Skeleton No. 28. — Adult male. Skull has a maximum breadth of 

 169 mm and a height of 133 mm ; no other cranial measurements pos- 

 sible. Lower jaw: Bigonial breadth, 113 mm; bicondylar breadth, 

 134 mm ; length of ramus, 55 mm ; breadth of ramus, 33 mm. Long 

 bones: Right humerus, 308 mm; left humerus, 309 mm; right ulna, 

 259 mm; left ulna, 267 mm; right radius, 238 mm; left radius, 243 

 mm; right femur, 431 mm; right tibia, 358 mm. 



Skeleton No. 31. — Adult male. Skull : Maximum length, 165 mm ; 

 maximum breadth, 160 mm; cephalic index, 96.9; glabella-inion 

 length, 159 mm; height, 141 mm; nasal length, 46 mm; length of 

 orbit, 38 mm ; breadth of occipital foramen, 29 mm ; length of occipi- 

 tal foramen, 34 mm ; sagittal-cranial arc, 331 mm ; bigonial breadth, 

 91 mm. Teeth very badly worn. Long bones: Right humerus, 326 

 mm; left ulna, 266 mm; right femur, 443 mm; left femur, 444 mm; 

 right tibia, 369 mm ; left tibia, 370 mm. 



Skeleton No. 32. — Adult. Sex undeterminable. Skull : Maximum 

 length, 147 mm ; maximum breadth, 171 mm ; cephalic index, 116.32 ; 

 glabella-inion length, 145 mm. We are suspicious of the other skull 

 measurements because of the great deformity of the cranium which 

 is entirely unnatural. Long bones: Right humerus, 310 mm; right 

 femur, 449 mm ; left femur, 452 mm ; right tibia, 361 mm ; left fibula, 

 342 mm. This skull shows the highest cephalic index of any, not 

 only from this site but from the entire region. This extreme brachy- 

 cephalism is assumed to be due to the artificial binding of the head, 

 since there seems to be no pathology involved, and yet the frontal
