The left orbit is larger by a millimeter in each diameter than 

 the right, the heights being thirty-five and thirty-four mm., 

 and the widths forty-seven and forty-six mm. 



On the lower surface of the nasal tuberosity is a well-marked 

 example of a persistent frontal suture, of about twelve mm. 

 in length. 



The " Inca Bone" is not present, nor any forms of wor- 

 mian bones. 



The synostosis of the sutures are marked. The following 

 being present to a greater or less extent, to-wit : saggital, 

 lamdoidal, coronal, spheno-frontal, occipito-mastoid, inter- 

 nasal, and malo-maxillary. Of these, the spheno-frontal and 

 malo-maxillary are complete. In each instance the lines of 

 union are almost obliterated. About midway on the line of 

 the malo-maxillary suture, there is a small unusual cavity of 

 sphero-triangular outline. It will be considered further on. 



The olecranon fossae are present in both humeri, but that 

 of the right humerus is very minute and almost perfectly 

 circular. 



The lateral flattening of the tibiae (plactycneism) is well 

 marked, while their auterio-posterior curvature (cnemeolor- 

 dosis) is only slight. 



The skull bears the marks of two fractures, one being 

 situated at about the middle of the obliterated frontal suture. 

 It is evidently the result of a blow from a blunt instrument. 

 The other is forty-four mm. long and is situated close to the 

 former, but entirely embraced by the right frontal, and, if 

 extended, would make an angle of about thirty-five degrees 

 with the frontal suture. It was evidently made with a sharp- 

 edged instrument. In each case only the outer table was 

 broken, while almost complete repair has taken place. 



The only other apparent seat of injury is the abscess cavity 

 of the malo-maxillary suture already mentioned. Its some- 

 what equilateral triangular form rests with its base on the 

 line of the suture. Its sides measure six mm., base five 

 mm., and depth four mm. In all probability it is the result 

 of a wound from an arrow or spear-point, and has since, by 

 the action of an abscess, assumed its present shape and 

 dimensions. 



The lower jaw presents some particularly interesting fea- 

 tures. The most prominent of which is the entire absence
