236 GARSON : HUMAN REMAINS FOUND AT HOWE HILL, DUGGLEBY. 
tinguished as group 2 may be thought from the description to be 
somewhat like the skulls of the Round Barrow period, but this is not 
the case, as although somewhat coffin-shaped they are quite distinct 
from them. It is very unfortunate that in the exploration of this 
barrow the importance of preserving most carefully every bone of 
each skeleton found was not understood, as the anatomy of the two 
types which existed in that remote period has not been worked out 
yet. As far as I am able to see, there does not seem to be any 
difference in stature between the two groups, nor was there preference 
apparently as to the places of interment given to the one type more 
than the other, which were thoroughly mixed together, some of each 
group were in the grave with the primary interment, and some of 
both kinds were found outside it. 
Let us now turn to the skulls from Long Barrows described in 
the Crania Britannica and by Dr. Thurnam in the Memoirs of the 
Anthropological Society of London, Vol. III., and to the specimens 
figured by General Pitt Rivers from Rotherley and Woodcuts. The 
cephalic index of 17 Long Barrow skulls, including the nine specimens 
whose height has been estimated from the femur, previously dis- 
cussed from the Crania Britannica, varies from 67 to 75 ; three are 
hyperdolichocephalic, 13 dolichocephalic, and 1 mesaticephalic. The 
measurement of length from which Dr. Davis calculated the index 
was that from the ophryon to the occiput which generally is a little 
shorter than the maximum length measured from the glabella, as now 
universally done, consequently the cephalic index calculated from 
the former is somewhat higher, and it is probable that several of the 
13 dolichocephalic specimens would have fallen within the limits of 
the first group had Dr. Davis measured their length from the glabella, 
many of them having indices according to him of 70, 71, and 72. 
In a more recent paper Dr. Thurnam* gives the cephalic index of 
48 Long Barrow skulls as varying from 65 to 75. Of these 16 are 
hyperdolichocephalic, 29 dolichocephalic, and 3 mesaticephalic ; their 
length averaged 195, the breadth 139 mm., the height 143, the face 
length (probably from the ophryon to the chin) 111 mm., face 
breadth 128 mm. ; the cephalic index of the series averages 71 and 
the altitudinal index 73. Coining to the same race in post-Roman
