shallow concave articular facet (third condyle) for the odontoid process of the axis was 
situated on the anterior border of the foramen magnum. 1 The lateral condyles of the 
occipital bone did not, however, exhibit a degree of flattening such as is sometimes seen 
associated with the presence of a third occipital condyle ; they were indeed more convex 
than in others of the crania in which no third condyle was present. 
In all the crania the nasal spine of the superior maxillae was distinctly marked, and 
the floor of the anterior entrance into the nose formed almost a right angle with the 
lateral boundary, and was not rounded off, except in L, in which there was marked 
prognathism of the upper jaw, and the alveoli of the upper incisors projected forward. 
The mean cephalic index of twelve crania was 70. That of the seven probable males

1 The changes which lead to the formation of a third condyle in this region have been discussed by the late Prof. 
Halbertsma, De derde Gewrichtsknobbel, 1865, abstracted by Dr. Barnard Davis in an article on Dutch Anthropology 
in the Anthropological Review, vol. iii. 1865, and by Dr. Wm. Allen in Journ. Anat. and Phys., vol. xv. p. 60, 1881.
