fig. 27). The maximum length of the woman's skull 
is 191 mm., its width, 131 mm. ; the height of the vault 
above the ear-holes, 115 mm.; the proportion of width 
to length 68 '5 per cent. Her head was long and narrow. 
The corresponding measurements of the lad's skull are : 
length, 192 mm. ; width, 133 mm. ; height, 125 mm. 
The width of the skull represents 69*2 per cent, of the 
length. The chief point of difference between the typical 
Cromagnon skulls and those of the two negroids lies 
in the characters of the cranial vault. The flattening

A discovery of a type of man differing somewhat from 
the Cromagnon form, but still a European of the Aurig- 
nacian period, needs only a brief description. In 1891, a 
canal was being made in Brunn, the capital of Moravia, 
some sixty miles north of Vienna, when a human skull

and near the skull, were found the objects of culture — 
perforated shells and an ivory image — and the remains of 
the extinct animals which characterise the Aurignacian age.
