and 1 female). Post-parietal flattening is recorded in 3 skulls (2 male and 1 female); 
1 female skull is noted as showing -parietal bulging ; and another shows parietal 
expansion with slight right parieto-occipital flattening. 
^k\\\h protuberant uccipnt have been specially noted in this series; of these 
5 males are recorded as having the occiput prominent or protuberant, and 7 males 
as presenting the same condition in a slight degree. For females, the correspond- 
ing figures are 11 with prominent, and 8 with slightly prominent occiput. 
Bathrocephaly occurs in 13 skulls, 5 male (of which 4 are slightly and 1 markedly 
bathrocephalic), and 8 females (of which 0 are slightly and 2 markedly bathro- 
cephalic). This shows a percentage twice that of the Whitechapel series. In 2 of 
the male and 10 of the female cases of bathrocephaly it is noted that there are no 
ossicles in the lambdoid suture, while in two other female cases the lambdoid suture 
is obliterated. 
Two cases of receding forehead are noted in male skulls, one of which has the 
calvaria depressed, while the other is recorded as doubtfully microcephalic. One 
female is recorded as having an infantile upper face. Only 1 male and 1 female 
skull are noted as plagiocephalic ; and 1 female skull is rather pear-shaped in the 
norma verticalis (see Plate XL). In 1 female skull left occipital flattening occurs; 
and in another marked occipital ast/mnietrg. 
A marked inion is noted in 5 skulls, 4 male and 1 female. A torus occipitalis 
occurs, with varying degrees of prominence, in 28 skulls, 15 male and 13 female ; 
the proportion is much higher than in the Whitechapel skulls, in which this 
peculiarity was met witli in only 13 out of 292. 
A linguiforni process of the occipital bone is noted in 5 skulls, all female. 
In only 2 female skulls were two precondylar eminences noticed, one pair small, 
the other minute. In this respect the collection is in marked contrast to the 
Whitechapel series, in which 14 skulls with these eminences were recorded. 
In 1 female skull a facet is noted on the anterior margin of the foramen 
magnum, on another a small articular facet on the left jugnlar process, and in a 
third a right paroccipital process for articulation with the atlas. (See Plate X.) 
The following peculiarities are also recorded : 1 case (female) of a median 
parietal foramen; 1 (female) of foramen jugular e spuriu7n; 1 of bilateral pterygo- 
spinous bridge, also female; 2 cases of a horizontal foramen in the spinous sphenoid, 
1 (male) on the left side, the other (female) on both sides ; and four instances 
of porus crotaphitico-buccinatorius (1 male and 3 female), as compared with only 
two in the Whitechapel skulls. 
(ii) Anomalies of the Sutures. 
Eight skulls are metopic, 5 male and 3 female (in one of the females there is 
also a metopic ridge, see above). Although the instances are few, it may be 
of interest to make up a Table as was done for the Whitechapel skulls, showing
