An interesting anomaly of the superior maxilla was recorded. A
suture was found running from the nasal margin to the lower border
of the orbit, where it became continuous with the suture uniting the
os planum of the ethmoid with the orbital portion of the maxillary
bone, thus completely cutting off the nasal process from the body
of the maxilla. This condition was present on both sides. The
specimen unfortunately was very fragile, and, though taken up with
care, the facial portion broke before even a photograph of the anomaly
could be obtained.
Cemetery 89.
Early in February an immense cemetery was discovered lying to
the south of No. 87, with which indeed it had in all probability been
originally connected, as some isolated graves and other evidence pointed
to the removal of a great quantity of the alluvial soil in which bodies
had been buried. A few of these graves in a patch by themselves
