As elsewhere shown/ the skulls from the long 1 barrows of Wiltshire 

 are remarkable for their long and narrow form, and the skeletons 

 are those of a people of short stature. The skulls from the round 

 barrows, on the contrary, are in general short and broad, and the 

 skeletons those of a people at least somewhat above the middle size. 



E portraits of Penruddock and Grove in the present number 

 are copies, by the Heliotype process, from photographs. 

 For accuracy they may be depended upon ; but allowance must be 

 made for the fact that the " mellow tones 33 of old paintings, how- 

 ever beautiful in themselves, cannot be reproduced in photography. 



The Society is much indebted to Miss Chafyn Grove, and Mr. 

 Penruddocke for the loan of the original portraits.
