receding forehead, over-hanging brows, flat nasal bones, long 
and low orbits, very broad and low nasal opening, forwardly 
projecting jaws, but receding chin, and large teeth : strongly

Cases 1 and 2 illustrate the zoological characters of the Cau- 
casian or White Races. In addition to a male and a female

skulls, among which may be specially noted those of two ancient 
Greeks from a tomb at Cyrene. In case 2 are exhibited some

also included in this section.
