1898 - 99 .] Sir W. Turner on Sculptured Skulls, New Guinea. 561 
Group 5 possessed two representatives. As the most character- 
istic was described by me in April 1898,* I need only briefly refer 
to its design. The area occupied by the sculpture was 71 mm. 
in transverse and 61 in vertical diameter. It was bounded by an 
incised line, which passed horizontally across the glabella and 
supra-orbital ridges, and curved upwards, so that its summit was 
35 mm. from the bregma. It enclosed a figure which was a rude 
representation of a face engraved upside down (fig. 10). Two eyes 
and a pair of eyebrows were immediately above the glabella ; a long 
straight nose, upper and lower lips, an open mouth, a series of 
short incised lines to represent teeth, and a tongue were recognis- 
able. On each side of the face an elongated, curved, limb-like 
object had been sculptured, and from the outside line of enclosure 
a number of short lines were directed inwards towards the central 
figure. 
In my original description of this specimen I referred to the 
descriptions and figures in Professor Haddon’s treatise on The 
Decorative Art of New Guinea , which showed that the Gulf of 
Papua was the district in which the human face or designs derived 
from it seemed to be most frequently employed as an ornament 
on the articles which they manufactured, and I called attention to 
a face depicted on a belt in the Berlin Museum (p. 115) as 
approaching in design to that sculptured on the forehead of this 
skull. 
The second specimen in this group has only recently been acquired. 
At the first glance it seemed as if it would appropriately fall into 
the radiated pattern of Group 2, but a more complete examination 
showed important differences. The design consisted of three 
limbs, two of which, broadly triangular in shape, were directed 
horizontally outwards immediately above the glabella, towards the 
external orbital processes. The third limb, 28 mm. long, and 
directed upwards, sprang from the upper part of the horizontal limbs 
at their junction in the middle of the frontal (fig. 11). It terminated 
40 mm. from the bregma in a club-like dilatation, in the centre of 
which a circle from 6 to 7 mm. in diameter had been cut. Be- 
tween the circle and the outer boundary line an inner faint line, 
which followed the curve of the latter, was incised. Extending
