The orbits themselves were rather small. The glabella prominence is well-marked, not excessive. The supraorbital ridges are of moderate dimensions, but the whole supra- orbital region protrudes somewhat forward and there exists a shallow depression above it ( cm. above the nasion). Yet this protrusion does not constitute a real supraorbital arch; it is due to a somewhat defective advance of the brain and consequently of the frontal squama forward. The forehead itself is fairly well arched, but quite. Fig. 4G. Skull of Chocori, norma lateralis, (.\fter Lehinann-Nitsche.) low, a type often seen in skulls of Indians. The frontal eminences are but slightly pronounced. There is no median crest. The sagittal region is oval from side to side, the parietal eminences are well-marked, and the outline of the norma superior is accordingly pentagonal. The temporal ridges are indistinct but run at a good distance (between 5 and 6 cm. on each side) from the sagittal suture. The occiput is slightly protruding but the muscular ridges and depressions tliereon are only moderate. The mastoids are of about medium masculine size. The thickness of the bones of the skull is Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Smithsonian Institution.
