each a large single costal facet at the side of the body. The transverse process of 

 the 10th dorsal had no costal facet, and those of the 11th and 12th had the usual 

 three tubercles. The lumbar vertebrae were of the customary shape. The vertical 

 diameter of their bodies in front and behind was as follows : —

In this skeleton the upper four vertebrae had the posterior vertical diameter longer 

 than the anterior. It is customary to find the antero-vertical diameter of the 5th 

 vertebra longer than the postero-vertical, but in this specimen they were equal. The 

 mean general index of the series of five vertebrae was as high as 108*1, which places 

 the lumbar spine in the koilorachic group. 



Upper Limb. — Clavicles slender, right 138 mm., left 136 mm. long; subclavian 

 groove shallow. Scapulae: right, 143 mm. long, 105 broad, index 73*4; left, 150 

 mm. long, 106 broad, index 70*6. Supra-scapular notch shallow and wide, but with 

 a distinct border. Humerus with shallow musculo-spiral groove and moderate 

 muscular impressions, no supra-condylar process or inter-condylar foramen. Bones of 

 forearm not specially noticeable. Radio-humeral index, 83*3 or dolichokerkic.

Lower Limb. — Femur with linea aspera and external condylar ridge fairly well 

 marked, also the trochanters and gluteal ridge ; no platymery ; articular area on 

 internal condyle prolonged forwards and lying in the same transverse plane as the 

 origin of the inner head of the gastrocnemius ; popliteal surface plano-concave. 

 Tibia with the head retroverted ; condylar surfaces with shallow concavities ; antero- 

 posterior diameter of shaft of right tibia in plane of nutrient foramen, 36 mm. ; 

 transverse diameter in same plane 25 mm. ; index of platyknemia 6 9 "4 ; the corre- 

 sponding diameters of the left bone were 37 and 24 mm. No articular facet on the front 

 of lower end of left tibia continuous with the astragalar area was seen, but a slight 

 indication of one was present in the right bone. The fibulae had strong oblique ridges 

 and a deep concavity for the origin of the tibialis posticus. 



No. 604, referred to on p. 77, and marked Jattia Miinda from Bhowro village, is so 

 different in configuration from the other Miinda crania that there can, I think, be little 

 doubt that it has been erroneously named by the collector. The skull is brachycephalic, 

 80'5, in its proportions and form. It was rounded in outline when seen from the
