m. = mandible. br. = broken, frag. = fragment. A mere reference to a sutm'e denotes that 
it is abnormal in character. Again I'terion denotes some abnormality of the sutures at or 
near the pterion ; the irregularities here were so diverse that they could not be properly 
indicated without individual drawings. In the age ap[)reciations, which are of course only 
approximate, child = less than 15 years, adolesc. 15 to 20, ad. 20 to 30, ad. 30 to 50, and old 
above 50. 
Finally it may be noted that, besides the boxes included in the Miscellanea., which corre.spond 
to definite graves, there are in the collection (i) a number of boxes containing minute fragments 
of skull bones, in most cases of a considerable number of skulls mixed together ; (ii) boxes 
containing skulls or odd bones of deer, goat, dog, etc. ; and (iii) boxes containing mandibles 
of man : these latter are mostly broken or are fragments only ; many of them do not belong 
to the skulls. Tliose that do belong to the skulls have such measurements as were possible 
given under the skull number, and a further series of jaw mea.surements is given in a 
separate table. The teeth in these jaws are, if anything, more fragile than the cranial 
bones. Mr Augustus Winterbottom, F.R.C.S., to whom we have shown sijecimens, finds in 
them no marked difference from modern teeth. In some cases they are remarkably ground 
down, — a result possibly due to eating either grain or grain ground in soft stone mills.
