it is fairly massive; the ascending ramus is comparatively short, and the sigmoid 
notch moderately shallow j the prominence of the chin in this specimen is 
considerable, though in No. 10 It is feebly marked. 
The teeth are in good condition in No. 8, but in the left side the second 
premolar and the first molar have been lost during life, while the first and 
third molar have also disappeared on the right, apparently before death. The 
dentition has been that of a normal adult. The crowns of the teeth, both in 
Nos. 8 and io, are large and have not been worn flat. 
The height of the cranium in No. 8 is considerably greater than the 
breadth ; in No. 10 it is slightly greater, and in No. 9 considerably less. 
The vertical indices are 74'8, 73 ' 3 > and 74 '0. 
The skull of No. 9 is microcephalic, the cubic capacity being 1,275 c * c *> 
while No. 8 just reaches the lower limit of mesocephaly, having a capacity of 
1,35° c.c. The skulls are phaenozygous and rest behind on the anterior border 
of the foramen magnum.

Summary of Cranial Characters of Mai Dardt Specimens, 
The characters of these three skulls show such great individual variation, 
that the only possible summary of their characters is to say that they have few 
in common beyond a small cubic capacity and a decided dolichocephalic 
tendency. Their primitive features are, perhaps, less extreme than in the case 
of the Semang specimens. 
Appendicular Skeleton, 
The appendicular skeleton of No. 9, a female, is complete but for the 
loss of the right clavicle, as far as the larger bones are concerned. 
Upper Limb , The scapulae are small and light, the axillary border is 
almost straight, and the supra-scapular notch is shallow. The indices are given 
in the table. The left clavicle is very slender, but the trapezoid lines and the 
conoid tubercle are well developed ; the longitudinal curve is moderate. The 
humeri are relatively stout, and the radii and ulnae are extremely short as 
compared with the humeri, the radio-humeral index being only 73*5. 
This shortness, however, is to some extent more apparent than real, being 
pardy due to the obliquity of the upper third of the shafts. There are no 
indications of disease, but the obliquity is so great in the ulna that on a tracing of 
the anterior view of the bone a straight line drawn in continuation of the outline 
near the centre of the shaft passes 15 mm. behind the posterior border of the 
tuberosity ; while in the case of the radius, in which the curve is naturally 
directed in the opposite direction, a straight line drawn in the same way passes
