Notes on Bowl's Barrow. 



Lower Jaw (No. 16;, found in Bowl's barrow, 

 with a vertebra on the condyle. 



That they were decidedly short will be seen in the list hereafter 

 given. The average height of the five persons thus obtained is 

 5ft. *07in. only. It is much to be regretted that so few long bones 

 were found perfect. 



It is very remarkable that, as far as can be ascertained, the bones 

 obtained on this occasion are those of the male sex only. The 

 remains of three young children were found, but their sex cannot 

 be determined. 1 



The individuals here interred were of various ages, an infant, 

 children of 6 and of 12 years, several young men under 25 years, 

 adults of various ages, and one or two of advanced age. It would 

 appear as if the males of a small tribe had been sacrificed, young 

 and old together.
