Picture to yourself an enormous head, almost as big as the piece of old tree trunk preserved at the South Kensington Museum; a pliant neck, slightly longer than ours, but well-pro portioned; arms thin and Short, and a bust much smaller than ours. Their legs were short, massive, and shapeless. For clothes they wore.
