two there were small epipteric bones. In a youth's skull from the Murray Eiver the 
antero-inferior angle of the parietal was very elongated, and the parieto-sphenoid suture 
was only 4 mm. broad. In a male two small ossicles were in the palato-maxillary suture. 
Faint indications of a maxillo-premaxillary suture were occasionally seen on the palatal 
surface. The malar bone was not divided in any specimen. In one youth's skull, 
although the basi-cranial synchondrosis was open, one of the styloid processes was ossified 
to the temporal bone. 
The vertical diameter of the os planum was in several instances short, and in the
