CRANIA FROM THE MOUNDS OF FLORIDA. 377 



40° ; ascending process of maxilla compressed. — Nasal vestibule macrolophic ; right 

 incisor eminence small, — with ridge reaching simple, large spine ; incisor eminence 

 nil on left with ridge. Alveolar line marked on both sides defining small prenasal 

 fossa, 3 mm. ; incisor crest high, complete. — Alveolus short (15 mm.) with con- 

 spicuously carinate suture. — Hard palate parabolic; high alveolar process 16 mm. ; 

 choanae pantomorphic. — Spinous process on right side mutilated and extends 

 between squamosa and the tympanica ; on left it is enormous and articulates with 

 the tegmen. — Petrosa inflated. — Foramen lacerum medium open. — Temporal ridge 

 interrupted at stephanion 17 mm. ; lambdoidal suture serrate almost to asterion on the 

 right, but nearly harmonic on the left. — Malar bone with enormous marginal process ; 

 suture-trace present. — Sconce 110 mm. wide. — Lachrymal bone ample, hamular 

 process uniting with maxilla. Upper molars 4-3-0. — Ethmoid disease on left side ; 

 ascending plate of the palatal bone convex toward the nasal chambers in the middle 

 meatus. — Skull rests on opisthion ; a continuous curve from opisthion to lambda ; 

 skull much depressed from lambda to intertubera. 



1,286 #, aged 30, — archencephalic. 



Glabella and supra-orbital arches scarcely discernible ; outer part of orbital arches 

 much inclined, 50.° — Nasal bones arched; frontal portion 3 mm. ; maxillary portion 

 22 mm.; premaxillary portion 2 mm.; radix 13 mm., 90°; salient 15 mm., 50°. — 

 Nasal vestibule analophic ; incisor eminence none ; alveolar line trenchant. Incisor 

 crest rudimental ; confined to posterior part ; nasal spine produced, simple. — Hard 

 palate hyperbolic, shallow; alveolar process height 13 mm. Choanae wider at 

 base than at apex 15 mm. diameter. — Spinous process and tympanic process small, 

 subequal, no overlapping ; foramen lacerum medium open. — The temporal ridges 

 faintly marked and not interrupted, while the lambdoidal suture near the asterion 

 is faintly serrate. — Marginal process of malar bone is rudimental ; suture-trace 9 mm. 

 long. — Posterior-inferior angle of parietal rests in part on the occipital bone. — Skull 

 rests on opisthion. — The condyloid facets are marked, the median abruptly declining. 

 — Occiput with inion prominent. — The curve of the occipital squamosa (supra-inial 

 portion) not continuous with the intertubero-lambdal, but a distinct depression is 

 noted at the obelion, thus constituting the "cut-off" skull of Cleland. — The 

 squamosa is convex on right ; flat on left. 



Lower Jaw. Third molar back of base of coronoid ; condyloid process small, 

 compressed. — The mental foramen on line of second premolar on right side, but 

 between the premolars on the left ; the genial spine and crest rudimentary. A 

 modern looking, though "ill-filled" skull. 



732 <?,aged40, — phoxocephalic. 



Glabella and supra-orbital ridge rudimental, 3 mm. ; outer part orbital arch 

 scarcely inclined, 30.° — Nasal bones arched, not depressed ; frontal portion 2 mm. ; 

 maxillary portion 25 mm. ; premaxillary portion 3 mm. ; radix 5 mm., 60° ; salient
