In reviewing the Seminole crania it is observed that all were males but two. 

 This disparity is probably explained by the fact that the specimens were in the 

 main obtained from battle-fields. The glabella and supra-orbital ridge were faintly 

 developed, the maximum being 4 mm. and six being nil. An average of five speci- 

 mens (in which the parts were measurable) was 3 mm., in this regard they are con- 

 trastable with the Moore crania. The degree of inclination of the supra-orbital 

 margin is about 40°. — The nasal bones showed but slight disposition to project above 

 the level of the fronto-maxillary suture — namely 3 mm.; while in five it did not 

 project at all. In nine specimens the maxillary portion of the bone was 21 mm. 

 long, being about the same as in the Moore series. The length of the nasal radix 

 was about 8 mm. and the angle 80°, while the salient was 18 mm., and subtended 

 an angle of 40°, nearly. — The nasal vestibule was macrolophic in two; microlophic 

 in three, showing a small fossa; while five were analophic. The alveolus was 15 

 mm. high, thus being about the same as in the Moore series. — The hard palate was 

 for the most part hyperbolic, there being but two examples of the parabolic form, 

 though in three other specimens (Nos. 7,08, 726, 707) right side was parabolic, while 

 the left was hyperbolic. — The height of the alveolar process was 10 mm. — In four 

 specimens the choanae was paedomorphic, all the others exhibiting a base which was 

 wider than the apex. — The foramen lacerum medium was open in all, but two showed 

 closure along the line of the groove for the Eustachian tube. — In six specimens the 

 spinous process of the sphenoid bone was large and overlapped the sphenoido- 

 tympanic suture.
