FASCICULI MALATENSES 
161 
Summary of Cranial Characters of Jehehr Specimens. 
Although the cephalic index varies considerably, in form these four skulls 
are dolichocephalic, markedly so in the case of No. 6. As compared with our 
Semang specimens, they are heavy and coarse, and the characters which they 
have in common with Veddah skulls are more decided. How far these 
common characters arise from direct relationship is a question that must be 
discussed in a later part of the paper. 
Appendicular Skeleton. 
The appendicular skeleton of the Jehehr is represented by the innominate 
bones of Nos. 4 and 7, both females, and a few of the long bones of the same 
specimens. 
Upper Limb. The two humeri of No. 4, and the left scapula, clavicle, 
and humerus, and the right radius of No. 5 have been preserved. In 
general characters these bones resemble those of the Semang specimens already 
described ; the indices of the scapula (No. 7) are given in the table. The 
clavicle is even slighter, in proportion to its length, than those of Nos. 1 and 3, 
and its longitudinal curve is more pronounced, though not excessive. The 
right humerus of No. 4 has a pointed process above the inner condyle, 
measuring 7 mm. in length — a feature of great rarity in the skeletons of 
primitive races. The exact radio-humeral index cannot be given, as the 
two bones of the same side have not been preserved ; but it was probably about 
79-6. The humeri of No. 4 are porportionately more slender than those of 
any other specimen in the collection, but this is not the case with the radius. 
Lower Limb. The two femora of both specimens, and the left tibia and 
fibula of No. 7 are present. The femora have the same general characters as 
those of the Semang skeletons described ; the shafts are platymeric, and the 
linea aspera is prominent. The indices and the measurements, on which they 
are based, are as follows : —
