232 G ARSON : HUMAN REMAINS FOUND AT HOWE HILL, DUGGLEBY. 
places agrees with that of the Howe Hill series in being, as we shall 
afterwards see, markedly dolichocephalic. On the other hand, the 
medium stature of twelve Anglo-Saxon skeletons from Winklebury 
was 1 m. 700. Thus, w r e see that the stature of the Howe Hill 
Barrow series agrees very closely with that of the dolichocephalic race 
in the Pitt Rivers series, and is considerably less than that of the 
Anglo-Saxons in the same collection. The tibia? of the Rotherley 
specimens are somewhat platycnemic, the average index in these 
being 70*2. 
Skull — Characters of the Calvarial portion. — The ridges for 
muscular attachments on the cranial vault are of very moderate size, 
but in one or two instances are fairly well developed in the Stephanie 
region. The under surface, however, presents a marked contrast to 
the upper in this respect, the superior curved line of the occiput 
being in some cases very strongly developed ; a well-marked torus is 
present in three specimens, and a smaller one on a fourth ; the other 
muscular attachments on the base are well-marked except the 
mastoid processes, which are only moderately large. The bones 
forming the calvarial vault, are thick and heavy, and in one instance 
might be called massive. The sutures are moderately closed in some 
specimens and obliterated in others ; stenosis of the sagittal suture 
is present in a greater or less degree in the majority of cases. Where 
the sutures can be traced their character is simple. In only one 
instance are worm-eaten bones present, these are of small size and 
situated in the lambdoidal suture. The antero-posterior outline or 
curve of the calvaria is regular ; in one case the forehead is vertical, 
in several it is low, and in others its curve is medium. Occipital 
elongation occurs only once, and in that instance it is probably more 
apparent than real, owing to post-mortem distortion. I may mention 
here that post-mortem distortion of some kind is noticeable in almost 
all the specimens, but varies in character ; sometimes affecting the 
right and sometimes the left side. When viewed from above, the 
outline of the calvaria is seen to vary considerably ; in four cases it 
may be described as extremely long and narrow, the forehead 
rounded, narrow, and with the orbital processes little marked ; the 
sides straight, and the occiput elongated ; in three specimens it is
