of water upon it as to cause us to reject it in toto ; hence the fact of our having dealt 

 with only 41 of the 42 crania of our discovery. The number of drawings herein recorded 

 is, therefore, 211, made up as follows : — 



48 crania in four normae . . . . 192 



2 crania in three normse 

 2 crania in one norma each 

 11 mandibulse recorded on eleveD plates

In the various drawings the alveoli dentales are recorded in black, as are any 

 other cavities occurring in the specimen. Broken or distorted edges are indicated 

 by thick black lines, and such portions should not be employed for the estimation of 

 any measurements or angles, or, if so employed, the result should be expressly stated 

 as estimated only. The various anthropological points are indicated by round black 

 dots, and will be readily recognised by every skilled craniologist. They are labelled 



throughout as follows : — 



G is the glabella. 



Br, the bregma. 



L, the lambda. 



I, the inion. 



0, the opisthion. 



Ba, the basion. 



P, the prosthion. 



N, the nasion. 



D, the d aery on. 



NS, the nasal spine. 

 In the estimation of such points as the glabella and the inion, which, in Tasmanian 

 crania, are particularly difficult to localize with any great degree of certainty, we 

 followed the procedure recommended by Schwalbe, in his work on Pithecanthropus 

 Erectus. 



All other details of the crania, such as sex, present place of location, number, 

 &c, are fully set forth in the synopsis which follows. 



In conclusion, we can only express the hope that these drawings of crania, 

 which are otherwise absolutely inaccessible, may prove of service to craniologists in 

 all parts of the world, and that they may play some part, however small, in the 

 advancement of our knowledge of the evolution of man in particular, and of 

 anthropology in general. 



We also desire to express our thanks to the Council of the Royal Society of 

 Victoria for having impressed the Government of Victoria with the necessity of 

 publication, to the Government of Victoria for their great kindness in undertaking 

 the cost of publication, and to Mr. J. Kemp, the Government Printer, for the care and 

 labour which he has bestowed upon the publication.
