376 CEANIA FROM THE MOUNDS OF FLORIDA. 



process and maxilla 10 mm. long ; bone in spheno-maxillary fissure. — Sconce 112 

 mm. wide. 



Lower Jaw. Pregonium 1 large; condyloid facets equal, internal half inclined. 

 Mental foramen between second premolar and first molar on the right side, and on 

 line of second premolar on the left side ; the genial spine and genial crest equal, but 

 almost nil. 



Skull rests on basion and opisthion, a curve of low convexity from opisthion to 

 inion ; a second from inion to intertubera, without depression at the lambda or 

 obelion. The type so far as the parietal bone is concerned, therefore, is as in the 

 " cut-off" variety, but no interruption exists at the lambda because of the constricted 

 proportions of the occipital bone. 



698 $ , aged 40, — phoxocephalic. 



Glabella rudimentary 4 mm.; supra-orbital margin 40°. — Nasal bones arched; 

 frontal portion 3 mm.; maxillary portion 20 mm.; premaxillary portion 3 mm.; radix 

 7 mm., 90°; salient 24 mm., 30°; ascending process maxilla compressed. — Nasal 

 vestibule microlophic ; incisor eminence high, with ridges reaching to the simple 

 spine ; alveolar line defining conspicuous fossa, 4 mm. wide ; hamular process (right 

 and left) rudimentary, not concealing bulla; on right side almost nil ; on left side 

 larger, but laminar. — Hard palate parabolic; alveolar process 15 mm. high; choance 

 paedomorphic. — The left petrosa inflated ; spinous process enormous and overlap- 

 ping fissure on right, psedomorphic on left ; tympanic process small ; tegmen 

 projecting as an independent spine overlapping fissure on left. — Temporal ridge 

 interrupted at stephanion 15 mm., the lambdoidal suture harmonic near the asterion ; 

 crest of inferior turbinal extended almost to the internal pterygoid plate ; foramen 

 lacerum medium open medianly, closed laterally. — Left lachrymal bone with broad 

 hamuld-maxillary union ; bulla ethmoidalis rudiment al. — Malar bone with large 

 marginal process ; not in spheno-maxillary fissure ; suture-trace present ; ecto-petrosal 

 portion of temporal bone small right and left. — Occiput moderately psedomorphic. — 

 Sconce 130 mm. wide. — Skull rests on opisthion ; first curve from opisthion to inion, 

 second from inion to lambda, third from lambda to intertubera. 



Lower Jaw. Body short, third molar partly concealed by coronoid process ; 

 teeth much worn ; mental foramen on line of second premolar on the right and 

 between this tooth and the first molar on the left. Genio-glossal spine double ; genio- 

 hyoid crest marked ; condyloid lateral facet two-thirds, median facet one-third ; the 

 left with much the smaller external pterygoid impression; angle of jaw inflected. — 

 Upper molars 4-4-? ; lower molars \ ° \ ° ? 



1,105 <?, aged 40, — phoxocephalic. 



Glabella not prominent. — Nasal bones arched ; frontal portion 4 mm.; maxillary 

 portion 22 mm.; premaxillary portion 2 mm.; radix 7 mm. long, 80° ; salient 18 mm.; 



1 The " pregonium " is a term proposed by the author to denote the recess on lower margin of the 

 body in advance of the angle. (Toner Lecture, Smithsonian Institution, 1889j.
