^{page 582 note *} See Laing, and Huxley's, Prehistoric Remains in Caithness (London, 1866Google Scholar), in which I gave a detailed description of this skull. Several skulls from this Burial Mound are described by Professor Huxley: they varied in the cephalic index from 70 to 78. The so-called mound was on the natural terrace of sand and shingle parallel and close to the sea beach, and was scarcely elevated above the surface of the terrace. Stones were found in two of the graves which Mr Laing regarded as rude stone implements, and lie associated the burials with the early stone period. The bodies had been buried in the extended position in long graves covered with flat stones, whilst the walls were formed of unhewn flagstones, a mode of burial which is known to have prevailed during the Christian era, and examples of which are not uncommon on the sea shore. It is questionable if these burials had the antiquity which Mr Laing has ascribed to them. See also Proc. Scottish Soc. Antiquaries, vol. vii. p. 38, 1870Google Scholar.

^{page 598 note *} I prefer, for the reasons stated in my Challenger Report, 1884, to employ the descriptive term metriocephalic rather than orthocephalic, as recommended by the German craniologists in the Frankfurt agreement (Archiv für Anthropologie, Bd. xv. p. 1, 1884Google Scholar). In this memoir I have, however, adopted the numerical subdivision of the group which they have suggested, viz., chamæcephalic up to 70, metriocephalic (orthocephalic) 70·1–75; hypsicephalic, 75·1 and upwards.

^{page 599 note *} Dr Barnard Davis introduced the term hypsistenocephalic to designate the high, narrow dolichocephalic crania of natives of islands in the Western Pacific (Natuurkundige Verhandelingen, Deel. xxiv., Haarlem, 1866), and I propose that it should have a more general application, as in the text. The term platychamæcephalic is now suggested to designate wide and low crania.
