Their Teeth. 
If good teeth denote a sound constitution, the occupants of 
“Danes’ Graves” must have been healthy indeed, as No. 9 
has the most beautiful set of teeth I have ever seen, and very 
few of them had lost any teeth during life, whilst there is not 
a hollow tooth to be found in the whole lot. The two or three 
appearances of slight unsoundness are probably due to erosion 
only. One of the adult skulls (i6d) seems to never have had 
the full set of teeth—some of the wisdom teeth having never 
made their appearance. In one very remarkable instance 
—that of the probable owner of the chariot--the upper jaw on 
the right side, has an extra tooth, making 33 in all; there 
being a fourth molar on that side of the jaw. Altogether this 
series of skulls is a very interesting one, and of considerable 
ethnological value. 
An Explanation of the Accompanying Table. 
This table shows that in the 16 mounds opened there were 
found 20 bodies, of which 9 were probably males, 8 females, 
and 3 children. Of these 11 had their heads directed 
approximately to the north, 5 to the south, and 4 to the west ; 
whilst 3 lay on their backs, 14 on the left side, and 2 on the 
right side. 
The knees were much drawn up, and in 11 cases were 
pressed over and pointing to the east, 4 to the west, 2 to the 
north, and 2 to the south. In nine instances the body was 
accompanied by an iron article, in five by bronze articles, in 
two by animal bones, and only in one instance by pottery. 
The 9 male skulls give an average breadth index of * 755 ? the 
females *710, and the two together give a breadth index of *735.
