else I have examined, and the specimen may therefore reasonably be referred to the Saxon period.
    The parts available comprised:
(1) An imperfect male sacrum, showing the interesting
         anatomical variation known as sacralization of the
         last lumbar vertebra;
(2) A portion of the left hip bone (more precisely the
         hinder part of the iliac crest);
(3) An imperfect cranium. This last is rather thick-walled,
        and exhibits male characters. The norma verticalis
        presents a smoothly ovoid outline; in norma lateralis
        the brow is broad and low, and there is distinct

        obelionic flattening of the vault and a corresponding
        fullness of the occipital region. The frontal and
        sphenoidal air sinuses are capacious and fully
        developed, and the state of suture closure would
        indicate an age at death of between 30 and 50 years.
       There is no sign of anti-mortem injury or disease, nor
       anything anatomically unusual in the specimen.
       Maximal cranial length is 118 mm., maximal breadth
      137 mm.; the cephalic index being 75·6 (i.e. the
      cranium falls just within the category of the
       mesaticephalic).
