GARSON : HUMAN REMAINS FOUND AT HOWE HILL, DUGGLEBY. 237 
times we find that the cephalic index in the specimens from Rother- 
ley varied from 68*9 to 82*6 ; and that 3 were hyperdolichocephalic, 
6 dolichocephalic, 3 mesaticephalic, and 1 bra chy cephalic- The 
Woodcuts specimens are not so markedly dolichocephalic and not so 
pure in character. 
Arranged in tabular form, the cephalic index in these series are 
as follows : — 
Hyperdolicho- 
ceph. 
Dolichoceph. 
Mesaticeph. 
Brachyceph. 
Howe Hill Barrow ... 
Long Barrows Cran. Britann.

From this it is evident that the general form of the Howe Hill 
Round Barrow skulls agrees entirely with the Long Barrow skulls of 
Davis and Thurnam. In neither group of the Howe Hill skulls, if 
we except L, which, as I have already said, is an abnormal specimen, 
have we any approach towards the brachy cephalic type, as the only 
other mesaticephalic specimen is at the lowest end of the group, four 
above the dolichocephalic group. As it is very imperfect in the 
posterior part of the base, as it is shorter than any of the others, it 
is not unlikely that in drying, the unsupported part of the occipital 
may have curved inwards somewhat and so reduced the length, in 
which case it would also fall into the dolichocephalic group. 
I have not been able to compare these specimens from Howe Hill 
with any of the actual specimens described by Drs. Davis and 
Thurnam, but I have done so with drawings of them. On plate 33 
of the Crania Britannica is an engraving and on the opposite page of 
the letter-press are some woodcuts of a skull from West Kennet 
Barrow in Wiltshire, of which the cephalic index is 67*0 ; both of 
these specimens resemble the skull C from Howe Hill. Again on 
plate 59 we have an engraving of a skull from the Long Barrow of 
Rodmarton, Gloucestershire, with a cephalic of 72 which agrees in 
its characters with M of our series. The skull depicted on plate 5 
from the Long Barrow of Ulley, Gloucestershire, fairly represents 
D, I, and K of our series. In the Crania Britannica, therefore, we 
have specimens from the Long Barrows which represent very
