width, 0 55 inch. Width across the zygomatic arch at posterior 
mai’gin of orbit, 0 TO inch ; nasals, L20 inches. Greatest width 
of skull across posterior portion of zygomatic arch, 1 ‘90 inches; 
greatest length from incisors to occipital foramen, 3 -25 inches. 
Rami — Length of condyles to interior base of incisors, 2 ’30 inches; 
width across from outer margins of condyles, 1'80 inches ; greatest 
height from base to top of ascending ramus, ITO inches; length 
of mandibular ramus from 4th molar and including the large

who, accompanying Dalrymple’s Exploring Expedition to North- 
east Queensland in 1873, was the first with others of his party 
who succeeded in reaching the top of Bellenden-Ker.
