In addition to the peculiarities shown in the preceding paragraphs, the
Munsee skulls present a number of anomalous conditions which deserve to
be mentioned.
In male skull no. 285,306 the right occipital condyle is flat, the left
being normal; there was no injury or arthritis.
In male skull no. 285,326 there is an accessory facet posteriorly to
the left condyle.
In female skull no. 285,311 there are two moderate precondylar
tubercles.
In male skull no. 285,313 and female skull no. 285,312 there is a
moderate medio-basilar (“pharyngeal”) fossa.
In female skull no. 285,320 the carotid canals in the petrous parts are
usually large, measuring 7 mm. in major diameter.
In female skull no. 285,311 a canal, 6 by 4.5 mm., is present just
posteriorly to the right angular process, in the frontal bone and the
spheno-frontal suture.
Finally, there is a series of anomalies relating to the spinous and
oval foramina. They are as follows:
Male skull no. 285,303: The median wall of the left foramina spinosum
and ovale is deficient.
Female skull no. 285,310: Median wall of right spinous foramen
deficient.
Female skull no. 285,347: Median wall of left spinous foramen deficient.
Female skull no. 285,320: Median wall of each spinous foramen deficient.
Female skull no. 285,323: Right foramina spinosum and ovale connected,
and the median wall of both deficient.
Female skull no. 285,311: The left foramen ovale is unusually large,
8.5 by 4.5 mm., while the right is enormous, 10 by 8 mm. (pl. 21).
