In addition to these are four isolated teeth : — 

 Molar (probably 2nd) of lower jaw. 

 Premolars (1st and 2nd) of lower jaw. 

 Lateral incisor. 



All the bones appear to have belonged to the same individual. 



The tibia, which is long and slender, exhibits a marked degi'ee of 

 torsion. It almost certainly belonged to a well-developed young 

 woman of about twenty-five to thirty years of age, and about 5 feet 

 3 inches in height. The lower extremity exhibits a slight pressure 

 facet — for the neck ' of the astragalus — on its anterior margin ; but 

 the antero- posterior convexity of the .outer articular surface of the 

 upper end is not very marked. 



The appearances presented by the fragments of the other long bones 

 agree in indicating a female subject of about twenty-five to thirty 

 years of age. In the fibula and in the femur a faint groove indicates 

 the line of epiphyseal junction. 



The teeth, which are in a beautifully sound condition, well pre- 

 served, and but little worn, undoubtedly belonged to a young person.
