CRANTOLOGY OF PEOPLE OF INDIA. 271 



The skull was that of an adult male, and the teeth, with one exception, were com- 

 plete, though the crowns were much worn and the dentine was exposed. In its external 

 dimensions it was moderate in size, and the lower jaw was present. 



Norma verticalis. — The cranium was broadly ovoid in outline, scarcely elevated in 

 the sagittal region, the parietal eminences fairly prominent, and the slope downwards to 

 them moderate, so that the cranium was " well filled." The side walls bulged slightly 

 in the squamous region. The postero-parietal slope was gradual, the occipital squama 

 bulged behind the inion, and there was no artificial flattening. The Stephanie diameter 

 much exceeded the asterionic. The parieto-squamous diameter was 13 mm. more than 

 the interzygomatic, which again was 11 mm. more than the intermalar, and the skull 

 was cryptozygous. 



Norma lateralis. — The forehead sloped gently upwards, and the glabella and 

 supraorbital ridges were moderate. The bridge of the nose was only 15 mm. long, 

 concave upwards, somewhat rounded from side to side, and the nasion was depressed. 

 The frontal longitudinal arc was the longest, and the occipital the shortest. The skull 

 rested behind on the mastoid and on a process from the inion which projected down- 

 wards (PL IX., figs. 43-45). 



Norma facialis. — The floor of the nose was not separated from the incisive region 

 by a sharp ridge ; the maxillo-nasal spine was feeble ; the anterior nares were moder- 

 ately wide and the nasal index was mesorhine, 51"1. The upper jaw projected somewhat 

 forward and the index was 99, mesognathous. The face in both the complete and 

 maxillo-facial indices was mesoprosopic. The canine fossae were deeply hollowed. 

 The orbital borders were not thickened, the apertures were low, and the index was 

 mesoseme, 88*9. The palate was highly arched, the palato-maxillary region was moder- 

 ately wide, and the index was brachyuranic, 115. 



The cranial sutures were well denticulated and partially obliterated in the obelion. 

 The pterion showed no irregular ossification, and there was no 3rd condyl or para- 

 condylar process. The lower jaw was of moderate dimensions and the chin was well 

 marked. The teeth were almost complete, flattened on the crowns with use, and stained 

 with betel. The vertical index, 72*4, was metriocephalic, and the cephalic index, 77*3, 

 was mesaticephalic ; the parieto-squamous breadth was 9 mm. more than the basi- 

 bregmatic height and the breadth-height index was platychamsecephalic. The intra- 

 cranial capacity was 1395 c.c. The nasio-malar index, 105"3, was platyopic. 



Pelvis. — The pelvis had male characters, and the muscular ridges were fairly well 

 marked. The tubercle on the iliac crest was strong, the alse were expanded and faintly 

 translucent. The cotyloid cavity had a deep and wide notch in the margin. The 

 pectineal ridges were moderate. The subpubic angle was 54°. The prse-auricular 

 sulcus was scarcely recognisable. The back of the ilium, a part of the pubic body, the 

 ischial tubera, and the back of the sacrum had been injured. The breadth-height index 

 was moderate. The sides of the pelvic brim were smooth ; the pelvic inlet was wide
