was greatly narrowed by a broad based exostosis projecting both from the anterior and 
posterior walls, whilst in the right meatus a smaller projected from the posterior wall 
only. Another skull had a similar exostosis from the posterior wall of the right meatus. 
A female skull had a third condyle at the basion. The dimensions of the lower jaw 
are given in the table ; in no instance was it particularly massive. The intergonial and 
intersymphysial diameters closely approximated to each other. 
The mean cephalic index of the eighteen adult skulls was 74 : that of the nine males 
74*4 ; that of nine females 73. The average was therefore in the upper term of the dolicho- 
cephalic series. The range in the males was from 70 to 78 ; in the females from 67 to 
78. As the index of nine was 75 and upwards, these were all mesaticephalic. A child 
of 8 with a cephalic index of 82 was brachy cephalic. The mean vertical index 'of 
sixteen adults was 73'5, that of seven males 74'1, that of eight females 72*87. The
