The 32 Form Analysis Measurements of the Australian Skull. 
For the display of the 32 observational counts made upon each one of 
the hundred Australian aboriginal crania with which this memoir deals, 
we propose, for purposes of comparison, to adopt the same procedure 
as employed by us in our former work upon the Tasmanian (3). The 
individual results of the entire series of 100 crania are, therefore, set forth 
in a table of measurements (Table XXVIII.). This table will form a 
valuable means of comparison and contrast with the similar table published 
by us for the Tasmanians (3), the more so as the two tables deal with what 
is probably the largest consecutive series of Tasmanian and Australian 
crania yet dealt with, namely, 52 Tasmanian and 100 Australian crania. 
In the Tasmanian work just referred to, in addition to publishing a 
complete table of all measurements, we dealt with each observational count 
separately. This procedure was adopted in order to form a first estimation 
of the evolutionary position occupied by the Tasmanian under each observa- 
tional count. We regard it as important to form a like opinion for the 
Australian, so that it is necessary, even at the risk of reiteration, to record 
the same tables here with the Australian included. We have, however, taken 
the opportunity whenever it was afforded, to increase the numbers of the 
objects of comparison. In the several tables now to follow the results are 
set forth, just as they were for the Tasmanian, in a progressive series from 
the lowest figure to the highest, or in the reverse way according to the scale 
of evolution, and each table also shows not only those with which the com- 
parison is made, but also those which are excluded from the comparison.
