bone to the posterior end of the inter-parietal bone is usually less than 

 the length measured from the same point to the end of the occipital 

 bone, both measurements were taken (see fig. 1). The difference be- 

 tween these two measurements was added to the length from the tip 

 of the frontal bone to the end of the inter-parietal bone, and the sum 

 was called the fronto-occipital length. 



The width of the cranium (squamosal distance) was determined by 

 taking the maximum distance between the two points (right and left) 

 where the zygomatic bones rest on the lateral walls of the cranium.
