Description of two Tasmanian Aboriginal crania

In a previous paper (P. and P. Roy. Soc. Tas., 1920) we compiled a complete list of the osteological specimens, relating to the Tasmanian Aborigines, contained in the Tasmanian Museum.
Two of the specimens mentioned in the published list present features worthy of comment, and in the present instance we desire to place on record a short description of the specimens catalogued as No. A. 298 and No. A. (E.H.) 558.
Both are crania which have been added to the Museum collection in recent years. The former was discovered at Tasman Island, and presented to the Museum by the Marine Board of Hobart. It was found in a penguin (Eudyptula) rookery, and was not in association with any other bones, careful search in this direction yielding nothing.
As regards the second cranium (No. A. (E.H.) 558), we are again at a loss to account for the fate of the Tasmanian male and the party to which he belonged. The cranium formed part of the Eaglehawk Neck discovery, the facts in connection with which have already been placed on record in the Papers and Proceedings of the Royal Society of Tasmania for 1918 (p. 118).
