The os calcis is damaged, but what is left of it shows ordinary 
form. Compared with other Indian calcanei it appears to be some 
what higher and shorter, but these are doubtless individual peculiari 
ties which can be matched in other Indian specimens. The two 
measurements of the bone which can be ascertained, and similar 
measurements of female Delaware calcanei, are as follows :

&quot; The astragali (see pi. 13, fig. 1) show certain peculiarities which are 
frequently encountered in this bone in Florida remains. Thus, there 
is a marked depression superiorly in the neck, and the lateral tubercle 
on the posterior facet for the calcaneus is considerably developed. 
The dimensions of the bone, as well as the relation of these dimen 
sions to each other, are also quite similar in the Vero bones and others 
from Florida:

The first right metatarsal measures 5.7 cm. in maximum length, 
which is but slightly below the average for this, bone among our East 
ern Indians. Apart from a few unimportant individual peculiarities 
neither this nor any of the remaining bones of the skeleton show 
anything noteworthy. 
Taken as a whole, the skeleton is plainly that of an individual 
possessing the essential osteological characteristics of the Florida 
and Eastern Indians; and until proved to be something else it can 
not possibly be classified by the anthropologist as anything else than 
a skeleton of an ordinary Indian.
