the female skeleton is recorded as having measured 5 feet 5 
inches. The skull is further remarkable for the beauty of the 
temporal-bone-mouldings, for the typical brain-capacity, 1 and 
the strong-modelled chin-bone, which latter feature may have 
possessed plenty of decision, a characteristic of the later 
inhabitants of Britain. The following are the measurements 
taken by me from the meatus auditorius or ear-cavity : — 
Vertical height of skull 
hi mm. 
Horizontal length 
178 mm. 
Breadth 
132 mm. 
Nasion to M.A. 
97 mm. 
M.A. to base-angle (rear of skull) . . 
90 mm. 
M.A. to Alveolar 
104 mm. 
Alveolar to Nasion 
63 mm. 
Length from M.A. to prominent point 
1 13 mm. 
Length of profile (lower jaw) 
90 mm. 
Height of low r er jaw (to teeth) 
30 mm. 
This shows the skull to be just within the Dolico-cephalic limit 
of 75, of which type it is a fine representative. 
The larger of the two bowls, of finely-hammered bronze, 
which was found lying upon the face of the lady, and which has 
left its blue stain on the temporal bone (1) has a diameter of 
195 mm. without counting the two lathe-turned rims ; which 
measure 10 mm. apiece. The gross total width of bowl, at upper 
circumference, therefore, is 215 mm. In its central bod}' the 
bowl, however, projects 12 mm. still more, giving it a very 
graceful profile. The total depth of the vessel is (exterior) 
87 mm. ; the depth of neck being 12 mm., and from neck to 
base 75 mm. 
The rounded inner portion of the top or upper member, has 
two lines and hollows for a moulding. Then follow two outer 
lines. This member, as a whole,— 4 mm. 
There is a small oblong hole in the neck, presumably for the 
single side-handle, now wanting. This probably was of 
decorated metal. 
The second, or smaller bowl, is similar in type and make, 
though far from as perfect in preservation as its fellow ; and
