A Studj/ of the Crania of the Moriori 
looking at Figs. I and II, it will be seen that these points are well demonstrated 
in the type sagittal contours. The glabella is not of course so pronounced in 
the female contour, but it is pronounced for a female skull. Figs. Ill and IV, 
illustrating the transverse contours of these skulls, show nothing particularly 
characteristic ; the sagittal crest can be seen, but it is more marked further 
back than the transverse section. Figs. V and VI, showing the horizontal 
contours, demonstrate very markedly that the Moriori skull is of a low type. 
There is a very substantial difference between the type horizontal contour of the 
Moriori skull and that of the English skull illustrated in Dr Crewdson Benington's 
paper on Cranial Type Contours : see Biometrika, Vol. viii. p. 123. It may also 
be noted that in these Moriori horizontal contours, there is a decided flattening 
at the occipital. 
Before we discuss the quantitative value of these contours it is well to examine 
the arithmetical results obtained for the measured characters.
