I SHALL confine my remarks pretty much to what 
may be inferred from inspection and mensuration 
of these skulls ; the geological surroundings and the ques- 
tion of the respective ages I will leave to the more com- 
petent hands of Mr. Bolton. 
The two are in several respects strongly contrasted. 
The Bristol one is masculine, very small, extremely thick 
and heavy ; the Avonmouth one feminine apparently, 
large, capacious, extremely thin and light. The former 
is mesatikephalic, the latter hyperbrachykephalic. The 
former is absolutely perfect, with the exception of the 
maxilla ; the latter wants also the facial bones, but the 
brain-case is sufficiently well preserved to admit of men- 
suration.
