Of sixteen long bones of the arm and leg, nine are destitute of both extremi- 

 ties ; and of the remaining seven, three are destitute of the lower extremity, 

 two of the upper extremity, and in two, the articular surfaces of both ends are 

 gone. Nothing more clearly illustrates the indiscriminate way in which the 

 bones were scattered about, than the fact that the eight femora found represent- 

 ed at least seven different individuals, four being adults and three either women 

 or children. None of the human bones show marks of having been wrought, 

 but this we should not expect, since most of the implements discovered are made 

 of horn. 



A recent examination of Shell Mouuds in the southern portion of the Empire 

 has disclosed the most abundant and unquestionable evidences of cannibalism. 



FLATTENED TIBIA. 



A special search was made for fragments of the human tibia, on account of 

 the remarkable deviation the tibia of ancient man presents, in comparison with 

 that of recent man. 



This deviation consists in a lateral flattening of the shaft of the bone. So 

 wide spread is this variation in primitive man that it has given rise to a new
