Ow'1Na; to the comparative scarcity of skulls and other remains of the ear inhabitants of the British Islands, and the imperfect condition ,of earlier many of them owing to lapse of time, more difficulty has been experienced in completing the identification of the Long-barrow type than occurred in the case of the Hound-burrow and Saxon types (13 and C), the features of which were defined in the Report of 1882. There appears, however, to be little doubt that the short dark type, which, as the Committee mentioned last year, certainly exists in the population at the present time, and which oilers a marked contrast to the other types, accords in stature, lightness of frame, narrowness of skull, and fine osseous features generally, with the skeleton remains found in the majority of the early barrows. The Committee, therefore, have no difficulty in considering it as the main Type A ; and its characteristic features have, consequently, been inserted in the annexed table, for comparison with Types B and C. The question whether there was a second pro-Celtic race in this country is hardly ripe for discussion ; but it is receiving the special attention of several members of the Committee. Tablee itt ce /dt'b the, typical features of the Three Principal Vases lie the British Isles are eeetnpatvvl. This table represents, as nearly as the present state of our knowledge permits, three main types in this country. In the mass of the population one or other set of features is found to predominate. The prevalent type differs in different localities; and the principal cause of the difference appears to be ancestral. Progress has been Made in the identification of several sub-types, especially the Gaels, Picts, Angles, and antes. But the definitions are not at present complete. The Committee trust that, whenever ancient remains are discovered which there may be reason to believe belong to the above people, or to the Long-barrow race, they may be carefully preserved, and information forwarded to the Secretary. The long bones, which are often put away, are specially required for the purpose of ascertaining t In place of ' prominent brows,' as in the report for 1882.
