DESCRIPTIONS OE CRANIA.
dentes sapientise have none of them, as it would seem, come into place. The crowns of the
teeth, especially the upper, are remarkably perfect and free from erosion. This state of the
teeth, in an ancient skull of an individual of matiire age, would alone be sufficient to show that
we have here the cranium of a civilized man, whose diet, and habits in connexion with it, were
very similar to those of modem Europeans, quite distinct from those of the rude and imtutored
ancient British hunter, and even from those of the half-civilized Anglo-Saxon of a subsequent
age.
