In skull No. 41 (fig. 8), an extensive fracture, somewhat stellate 
in character, involves the right temporal and parietal regions, and 
has evidently implicated the upper wall of the auditory meatus for 
nearly an inch from its external orifice. One of the radiating lines 
extends to the saggital suture near the posterior superior angle of the 
parietal, and the repair at this point looks suspiciously incomplete. 
Otherwise, the lines of fracture are nearly obliterated, but a depression 
remains just above the ear which nicely fits one of the round-headed 
stone hammers found in the cemetery. 
Fig. 8. Stellate fracture, with extensive depres<ion in left temporal region; repair 
nearly completed. 
Just above the external occipital protuberance in another skull, 
is imbedded a fragment of a small flint arrow-head, about which there 
are evidences of inflammatory action; penetration of the cranial cavity 
has not occurred, evidently because of the underlying superior division 
of the crucial ridge giving increased thickness to the bone at this point. 
In one case a line of fracture of the superior maxilla is visible, ex- 
tending from the base of the nasal process of that bone, diagonally 
below the orbit to the base of the malar process, involving in its 
course the rim of the orbit. Repair has been nearly completed with
