ETHNOLOGY. 



By the late George Rolleston, M.D., F.R.S.,

THE following human bones — viz., four skulls, six lower 

 jaws, four cervical vertebrae, one large and one small 

 sized scapula, two small sized and fragmentary humeri, 

 a fragment of a very slight but adult ulna, and two 

 more or less fragmentary ribs — have been put into 

 my hands by Mr. C. G. Oates, with information to the

 man horde massacred somewhere between the Tati 

 and Ramakwebani Rivers, in S. lat. 2 0° 54', and long. 

 2 7 42'. With these human bones came some bones of 

 Equns {cabalhis or zebra ?) ; also of one large ruminant 

 {Bos taurus or Bos Caffer), and one smaller ; and part of 

 the skull of an ostrich [Struthio camelus) ; and, later, the 

 feet-bones of an elephant {Elephas Africanus). All these 

 bones had been collected by my former pupil, Mr. Frank 

 Oates, of Christ Church, Oxford. The four skulls had 

 not their lower jaws assigned to them ; but to three of 

 them jaws were assignable, which in all probability had

 to say nothing of their having been sent in company 

 with them and with certain cervical vertebrae. These
