The few crania from there which have been intrusted to me bear the marks of recent pedigree, as also do the additional objects.

Up to that time next to nothing was known of deformed crania in the oriental island world.

It rested on its apex (base uppermost), and was filled with fragments of half incinerated human bones, mingled with dark-colored dust, and the sand which invariably sifts into crania under such circumstances.
