  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.
