Ten Indian skulls from Venezuela and the Dominican Republic, respectively, have been examined anthropologically. Three of these skulls are from adolescent individuals, the remaining seven from adult ones. Four skulls were artificially deformed (tabular obliqua type). Out of the seven adult skulls five are male, two probably female. The measurements and indices are mostly within the variation range of hitherto already known values from these regions. Considering all factors one can see a population having relatively short, median wide and in general low skulls, which are also characterized by low to median cranial capacities. The face is dominated by high orbitae. The cheek bones are median wide, compared to other South American groups. The nose is often short. Its width is differing whereas, however, narrow to median wide nasal openings are prevailing. For the present it is not possible to differentiate this skull material either regionally or chronologically.
分别对来自委内瑞拉和多米尼加共和国的十个印第安人头骨进行了人类学检查。其中三个头骨来自青少年个体，其余七个来自成年人。四个头骨存在人为变形（平板斜型）。在七个成年头骨中，五个为男性，两个可能为女性。测量值和指数大多在这些地区迄今已知值的变化范围内。综合所有因素，可以看出这是一个头骨相对较短、中部较宽且总体较低的人群，其颅容量也处于低到中等水平。面部以高眶为主。与其他南美群体相比，颧骨中部较宽。鼻子通常较短。其宽度各不相同，不过，鼻孔狭窄到中等宽度的情况较为普遍。就目前而言，无法在地域或时间上区分这批头骨材料。
