BEFORE proceeding to the consideration of this, su-bject, I desire to thank Professor Stewart, curator of the museum of the Ptoyal College of Surgeons, and Mr. Oldfield Thonmas, of the British Museum, for the great kinldniess with which they afforded nme every facility in their power for the examiination of the specimleiis in the collectioins under their care.I also desire to express rny thanks to Professor Macalister for much of the imaterial on which this paper is based anid also for valuable help and sugvgestions during its progress.IX working throuhli any series of crania collected from a wide area, it is well to begin with those of the oldest and presumiably least mriixed populationis, as thereby we obtain a fixedl datumn from which to proceed.. On this account, ini my systematic studies of African, craniology I have taken the Btush races first, as they are now genierally considered to have beeni among the earliest inhabitants of the southern part of the Dark Continent.Their range of distribuLition was originally much wider, and it is probable that it is only within the last two thouisanid years that they have been restricted to their present locality by the pressure of imnmigrant races.In this paper I propose to describe the skulls of Bushmnen and Hottentots in separate sections, not that craniologically any sharp dividing line can be drawn between them, but rather because the remains of the former compose a tolerably distinct and homogeneous series, while those of the latter exhibit various transitional types initermediate between the Bush race proper anid the surrounding Kaffir and Negro tribes.In the table of seriations I have included the indices given for Bush crainia by Fritsch, Rollestoil, and Sir William Turnier in their respective memoirs.I.-BusA Race of South Africa.These aboriaines are fast disappearing, and are now only to be found as a few scattered groups along the south bank of the Orange river, in some of the valleys of Griquialand, and in isolated localities in Kaffraria.They still survive, however, in greator This content downloaded from 62.122.73
