The following were found on the second search:
Nos. 7a-a few fragments;,Va, 27, 29 and 31.
The fragments of bones enumerated in the preceding catalogue, belong to,
the following regions of the
sody, viz : Cranium, face, neck, fore-arms, hands, riot leg below the knee.
feet.
There are some fragments which were supposed tw belong, to the Humerus;
they correspond with that
done as to their angles and curves, but are not of sufficient sisd to
render it certain that they are parts of
a humerus.
Besides the pieces of cranium in the package marked No. Sa, others are to
be seen in the slag connected.
with the fragments marked Nos. 1, 3 and 21. Some of the) pieces in No. 7a
do not present the appear-
ance of having been fractured by the process of calcination, but by
mechanical violence previous to the
calcination.
The fragments of the lower jaw are those of the right side and chin-and
belong to a person from whom
the teeth had disappeared between the cornoid process and the region of the
first molar or second bicuspid.
The alvesfi have been absorbed and replaced by a flattened surface with a
ridge on one of its borders.
This would indicate that many months bad elapsed since the disappearance of
the molar teeth.
The bone of the leg (the Tibia) is uneguivoeally that of the right side.
The additional fragments enumerated in this list and not mentioned in the
Coroner's list, were deter-
mined subsequently to the inquest and the examination of the Grand Jury,
