. Bulletin. Ethnology. 56 EUKEAU OF AMERICAN ETHNOLOGl' [bull. 66 The skoleton is that of a man somewhat advanced in life. The individual Avas of tall stature, possibly not less than 5 feet 10 inches, robust, and normal. The skull (pis. 9, 10) is large, finely shaped, of thoroughly modern features, and unusually thin. It shows a normal nasal process of moderate breadth (about cui.) ; orbits with fairly sharp borders; glabella and suj^raorbital ridges subdued; forehead not high but well built; the sagittal region oval from side to side; the temporal ridges only mildly marked and at their nearest approach running at. I'lG. 8.—Portion of the lower jaw of Skeleton II; median incisor found in the vicinity of Skeleton II. a distance of 7 cm. from the median line; parietal eminences gently developed, the occiput smooth and blunt; and the outline of the vault as viewed from above forming a fine ellipse. The thickness of the parietals ranges from 3 to 4 mm., which for a strong Indian is decidedly exceptional. The mastoid process shows normal masculine development; the auditory meatus is rather large and in cross section nearly circular; the zj'gomatic processes were of moderate masculine strength. The lower jaw (fig. 8), although finely molded and full-sized, is thin, like the whole skull, and the facial parts could not have been heavy. The right ascending ramus of the lower jaw is cm. high.
