JOURNAL, R.A.S. (CEYLON). [VoL IX. 



dolichocephaly ; index of length to breadth 75*3, to height 

 80*9, strongly prognathous. 



Top view : short, especially posteriorly ; moderately broad ; 

 phaenozygmatic ; sutures open ; sagittal suture in the region 

 of the foramina wanting. 



Side view : short and high ; greatest height behind the line 

 of the ear and two fingers' breadth behind the coronal 

 suture. High, straight forehead, strongly incurvated, with 

 large orbital ridges, deep glabella, and well-marked eminences ; 

 posterior part long and rising ; coronal suture pressed far back. 

 Middle of the head short, and much arched. From the crown 

 a sudden descent, with short arching. High plana temporalia 

 reaching to the lambdoidal suture, and here forming a large 

 prominence ; squama temporalis very flat ; on the right steno- 

 krotaphy, with epiptericum spheno frontalis. The angulus 

 parietalis entirely wanting, the portio orbitalis ossis frontis 

 in compensation, slightly arched forward. The ala is almost 

 wholly prevented from articulating with the parietal bone : it 

 only touches it at its posterior end, under which the 

 epiptericum is pushed. Coronal and spheno temporal sutures 

 run almost in a direct line. Spheno frontalis long, in a line 

 with the squamosa, which is posteriorly lancet-shaped, 11 mm. 

 long, 5 high ; epiptericum articulating with the ala. Ala itself 

 strongly incurvated in the middle, yet broad ; on the left 

 the spheno parietalis short, the angle little developed, so that 

 the squamosa and the spheno parietalis and spheno frontalis 

 run almost in a line ; ala flat and broad. 



Back view : very high, sagittal region quite prominent, 

 only the suture itself somewhat depressed. The form of an 

 assumed section, about pentangular, but the upper and lateral 

 surfaces slightly arched. Eminences prominent, squama 

 high, lambdoidal angle acute, squama superioris strongly
