We content ourselves, then, with saying that in size it is quite large, but of a conformation far from advantageous, very long, extremely flattened on top, with an enormous occipital development, while the forehead is so low as to appear almost absent. In this respect it is not superior to the skulls of the two previous ages, if it be not even inferior to them. No skull is to be found in the work of Messrs. Rutime

We content ourselves, then, with saying that in size it is quite large, but of a conformation far from advantageous, very long, extremely flattened on top, with an enormous occipital development, while the forehead is so low as to appear almost absent. In this respect it is not superior to the skulls of the two previous ages, if it be not even inferior to them. No skull is to be found in the work of Messrs. Rutimeyer and His so unfavorably formed. It pertains, however, to the group of Helvetian skulls, and is of the so-called type of Sion, to which it most neai'ly approximates. * An analogous consequence may be drawn from the discovery, recently made by M. Eabut,_ of a vase bearing a Roman inscription, in the midst of the station of Chatillon, at the lake of Bourget. (See Kabut, Habitations lacustres de la Savoie, page JJl.).
