ON THE CRANIA AND OTHER HUMAN REMAINS FOUND IN THE BARROW 
AT HOWE HILL, DUGGLEBY. BY J. G. GARSON, M.D., 
Corresp. Mem. Anthrop. Soc, Paris and Berlin; Lecturer on 
Comparative Anatomy, Charing Cross Hospital. 
The specimens from Howe Hill Barrow which have been placed 
in my hands for examination by Mr. J. R. Mortimer, of Driffield, 
consist of the skulls belonging to the skeletons he has designated 
in his paper on the exploration of the barrow, by the letters 
C, D, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, and M, and some of the long bones of the 
extremities of D, I, and K. (p. 224, pi. viii.) He has also been good 
enough to furnish me with the measurements of some of the long 
bones, which have unfortunately not been preserved, belonging to 
C, D, G, I, L, and M, together with his notes and diagrams relating 
to the exploration of the barrow, which have been of the greatest 
assistance to me. The skulls and bones are in a very fragile con- 
dition, and many of them are very incomplete, notwithstanding that 
Mr. Mortimer has bestowed much time and patience in restoring 
them as far as was possible. 
Eight of the specimens belonged to adult males, and two to 
children of about six and ten years of age respectively. No female's 
bones appear to have been found in the barrow. According to the 
usual rule, the description of the specimens I am about to give will 
only include the adults of the series.
