With regard to this specimen Capt. StiiFe said that by the 

 courtesy of Mr. Abernethy, Consulting Engineer of the Manchester 

 Ship-canal, he was enabled to lay this specimen before the Meeting. 

 The skull appears to be that of a man, probably from 20 to 25 years 

 of age, and it was found at a depth of 27 feet from the surface, at a 

 spot indicated upon a plan exhibited to the Meeting, in a bed of 

 fine sharp sand, beneath a deposit of blue silt (3| feet), overlain by 

 red clay (G feet). The skull is not remarkable in shape, but from 

 its appearance it would seem to be of considerable age.
