ABSTRACT
According to Morant (1923), the data can be divided into two groups. The first comprises skulls 1 to 17 found in graves in Sikkim and the neighboring area of Tibet (Type A skulls). The remaining 15 skulls (Type B skulls) were picked up on a battlefield in the Lhasa district and are believed
to be those of native soldiers from the eastern province of Khams. These skulls were of particular interest since it was thought at the time that Tibetans from Khams might be survivors of a particular human type, unrelated to the Mongolian and Indian types that surrounded them.
