Nawngchik, even more distinctly marked. The orbits resemble those 
of adult skulls. The angle of the ascending ramus of the lower jaw is 
pratically the same as that persisting in an adult female skull, No. 27, and 
the symphysial height is no less than in the jaw of No. 24, an adult female too 
young to have been affected by senile atrophy. 
On the whole, the inference to be drawn from these two children’s skulls 
is that, while in certain characters, notably in the lower jaw, they depart less 
widely from the adult type of their race than would be the case among Europeans, 
they are distinguished from the skulls of older persons of their race in certain 
very definite ways, chiefly in displaying a very much more marked tendency 
to brachycephaly. 
I n the Patalung specimen the parietal longitudinal arc is proportionately very 
much longer than either the frontal or the occipital than in any other complete 
skull in the collection, and though in the fragmentary specimen from Nawng¬ 
chik the necessary measurements cannot be taken, there are indications that 
the same state of affairs prevailed in this younger skull also ; in the youth’s 
skull (No. 29), however, the frontal arc is very much the longest of the 
three.

In a future Fasciculus 1 hope to discuss the racial features of our collec¬ 
tion of skulls and skeletons from the Malay Peninsula, but the above table 
shows roughly some of the principal differences between the adult crania of 
the different races investigated, as far as the condition of the material and 
the limitations of the present systems of craniometry will permit. The Arabic 
numerals give the mean, while the Roman figures following them in brackets 
indicate the number of skulls from which that mean was calculated. The 
facial index noted is, of course, the maxillo-facial. I have been obliged to group 
the Semangs, the c Sakais ’ (or, more correctly, the bastard Semangs) of Upper 
Perak, and the true Sakais of South Perak together as ‘jungle tribes,’ for our 
series of skulls is too small for it to be possible to draw any distinction between 
them, and it is obvious, I think, that far less difference exists between the 
bony structures of these tribes than the appearance of living individuals would
