Abstract
THE fossil crania of the extinct members of the human family have been described and measured by many investigators; but it has long been recognised that there were important lacunas in our information that had to be made good, and a lack of uniformity in the methods of measurement. Dr. Morant has rendered a very useful service to anthropology by himself measuring all the available crania and providing a complete and uniform treatment of the series in accordance with the refined mathematical methods of Prof. Karl Pearson.
