protruding glabella !) and protruding supra-orbital arches; the Timorini-type anwers to n°. IV 1 

 and V of fig. 305 on page 767 of his book, which moreover perfectly corresponds with the 

 mediansagittal line concerning the Australians, on page 772. In consulting the photos in 

 SPENCER and GlLLEN's book [204]/ I stated that the Australian women and children evidently 

 hâve the same glabella as the Timorini ; among the men it is found also, but there it is 

 often more or less vaulted besides 2 ). If we stick to the distinction — which seems to me most 

 rational — between the protruding but flat forehead and the Torus frontalis, the latter cannot 

 be attributed to the Timorini, while the first — more appearing* as a receding of the face 



than as a projecting of the forehead — 

 might be considered as a typical quality 

 of both the Timorini and the Australians. 

 The existence of the Semitic type 

 of nose is clearly proved by photo 11, 

 while also photo 18 and photo 22 are 

 characteristic in this respect. Photo 44 

 shows a really good nose; we baptized 

 its proprietor the noble-man because of 

 his well-cut features. For the rest, well- 

 shaped noses are an exception. Doubtless 

 the piercing of the nasal septum will 

 not attribute to the beauty of the nose. 

 The foreheads of the Timorini 

 are often high and lofty. 



The mouth is large in consé- 

 quence of the largely bent rows of teeth. 

 A narrow high palate is really an excep- 

 tion. The teeth are of a creamy yellovv; 

 caries is not fréquent. Prosarmosis was 

 often found, but enarmosis is very 

 common too, though it repeatedly ap- 

 peared to me that the teeth did not lock 

 so closely as is the case in Europeans. ■ 

 But one should not forget that it is 

 very difficult to make out if the teeth are really in the resting position. 



The wisdom-teeth appeared to be nearly always complète. It must be remarked that 

 not in a single case those four teeth were missing at the same time. The only time that I 

 thought so, the four first molars were so large that I supposed them to be formed each by 

 the fusion of two teeth. Thev were i 1 /, times as long as a normal molar and had moreover

1) Protruding over the nose, but not vaulted itself, thus exactly as is the case in the Timorini (see page 767, 

 fig. 305 I — V; according to thèse drawings the deep nose-root seems to be considered as a quality of the glabella rather 

 than of the nose). 



2) Thus forming a true torus. . ..
