Grouped with this skull are two adult ribs (the eleventh, another fragment 



of an adult rib); the proximal phalanx of the finger of an adult; seventeen 



infantile ribs; an infantile ulna (right) and infantile radius (right and left). 



There is thus a suggestion that this was the burial of a mother and her infant 



child.

In this collection of bones the skeletal remains of at least four individuals 

 can be detected. 



There is the mandible of a child about five years of age in a good condition 

 of preservation. The first permanent molar is still well inside its alveolus. 



The atlas, «axis, one typical cervical and two typical dorsal vertebrae — all 

 adult. 



Seven typical ribs of an adult. Right and left clavicles, right and left 

 scapulae, right humerus, left radius and left ulna — all slenderly constructed 

 and evidently belonging to one adult skeleton, probably that of a female. 



A right fragmentary adult innominate bone, a left adult astragalus and a 

 left adult fifth metatarsal, all small in size, probably belonging to the same 

 skeleton as the above. 



The left scapula, diaphyses of the left humerus and left ulna, and fragment 

 of the left ilium, all belonging to a young child. 



Fragment of a parietal bone belonging to a young individual. 



Two pairs of diaphyses of right and left femora 167 and 177 mm. long, 

 representing two children under the age of puberty. 



The right and left tibial diaphyses belonging to one pair of the femora, 

 one tibial diaphysis (left) of a slightly older child. Still another right tibial 

 diaphysis, much larger than the others — but all representing ages at or below 

 puberty.
