Weight of Dockgate skull (without mandible), 41 ounces 
avoirdupois ; of Avonmouth skull (wanting also the facial 
bones, ethmoid, central sphenoid, and small portions of 
the frontal and occipital), 14 ounces. 
The Dockgate man, from the evidence of the teeth, and 
from the open condition of the sutures, appears to have 
been a young adult. In the norma verticalis the form is 
rather sphenoid or pentagonal than oval, and the zygo- 
mata are conspicuous ; the occipital aspect shows nothing 
markworthy ; the lateral shows prominent brow ridges, 
an enormous glabella, and a forehead arched, but rather 
narrow, low and receding, and a tolerably regularly curved 
outline, until we arrive at a very large inion, strongly 
hooked downwards.
