deeply sunk fronto-nasal suture. The outline in the norma verticalis is a long oval, or rather ovoid, the parietal width distinctly exceeding the frontal. The proportions are dolichocephalic, the cephalic index being 74.5. The height index is 71.9, distinctly less than the length-breadth index. The arch of the vault rises from a distinct hollow above the prominent ridge formed by the supraorbital ridges and glabella, in a flat curve to the vertex, which is flat with a slight sagittal crest; the posterior slope is steeper and fuller than the anterior, and runs down to a prominent rounded occiput. The sides of the skull slope inwards below the parietal eminences, so that it is a so-called ill-filled skull. The lambdoidal suture is very complex, showing several Wormian bones on each side
