It has suffered very much from posthumous pressure, and the measurements given of it must be taken as being merely approximative. Still, there is abundant evidence furnished by its form in its present condition for saying that it formed part of an exaggeratedly dolicho-cephalic skull to which the name 'cymbocephalic,' proposed by Professor Daniel Wilson^ in 1850, may very appropriately be applied. No limb nor trunk bones ^ See British Association Reiwrt for 1850, p.
