OCCIPUT

When we eliminate all the cases that show any trace of artificial

flattening of the back of the skull, there remain only a few specimens

for observation. Among these, three-fourths show medium convexity

of the occiput, while in one-fourth the region is protruding. There

is no difference in this respect in the two sexes. The external

occipital protuberance and the occipital ridges do not show especially

strong development in any case, and barring a single instance of

the occurrence of an Inca bone, which will be spoken of in another

connection, there are no anomalies of this region to be recorded.
