For this reason threeexamples are shown for comparison with the prevalent type of leptoproscopy as illus-trated in the Moore series. Remarkable contrasts are seen between the Mooreseries and all of the four crania,—No. 40, fig. 6, 418 Lenape, fig. 7, and 1,002Otomie, figs. 8 and 9. Each of these specimens exhibits a depressed nasal bridge,ascending process of the maxilla nearly at right angles with the inner wall of theorbits, an expanded anterior nasal aperture, a rudimental alveolar line ; the spine,incisor crest and emine
Journal of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia . Indians. For this reason threeexamples are shown for comparison with the prevalent type of leptoproscopy as illus-trated in the Moore series. Remarkable contrasts are seen between the Mooreseries and all of the four crania,—No. 40, fig. 6, 418 Lenape, fig. 7, and 1,002Otomie, figs. 8 and 9. Each of these specimens exhibits a depressed nasal bridge,ascending process of the maxilla nearly at right angles with the inner wall of theorbits, an expanded anterior nasal aperture, a rudimental alveolar line ; the spine,incisor crest and eminence are small (analophic). The glabella and supra-orbitalridges vary, being almost absent in No. 40, but prominent in Nos. 418 and 1,002. 414 CRANIA FROM THE MOUNDS OF FLORIDA. The alveolus is high in No. 40, but medium in No. 418 and No. 1,002. In thespecimen last named, which is the most interesting skull of the series, the nasalbones do not reach the line of the anterior nasal spine. Nos. 40 and 1,002 arecymbecephalic, while No. 418 is (Norma lateralis.)Fig. 8.—Otomie, 1,002, showing ehainfeprosopy. (Norma frontalis.)Fig. 9.—Otomie, 1,002. Ibid.
