On some Human Skuils in the Collection of the Albany Musewm 121 
is to draw attention to the skull found by Mr. Leslie, and I hope that, 
at some future time, somebody better qualified for the task than I am, 
will subject this and other skulls of similar origin to a thorough critical 
examination. 
The Zwartkops skull is in an excellent state of preservation. It is, 
however, impossible to even guess how long it may have been buried. 
It probably belonged to a young, though nearly full-grown, female, 
and, by comparison with the Kafir skull, is microcephalic. I have 
not determined its cranial capacity. A few of the other principal 
measurements were, however, taken of three other skulls in order to 
compare them roughly, and also to contrast them with some published 
measurements of South African skulls.
