The diagrams, Figs. 1, 2 and 3, give the general outline of the 

 form of heads of these types when looked at from above. 



Fig. 1. The Long Head. 



Fig. 2. The Tall Head. 



Fig. 3. The Broad Head. 



In typical heads belonging to either of these types the outline of 

 the face is likely to be characteristic of the type. Thus, the general 

 outline of the face from the line of the brows to the tip of the chin as 

 seen from the side differs, as a rule, according to the type of the 

 cranium. Associated with the long cranium there is generally a convex 

 facial outline, while a side view of the face of one from the class of tall 

 heads shows usually very little or no curve. On the other hand the face 

 of one from the class of broad skulls is likely to show a concave line. 



The next series of figures, 4, 5 and 6, gives an idea of the general 

 form from a side view of each of these three types in the living subject. 



Fig. 4. The Long Head. 

 Facial angle + 10°. 



Fig. 5. The Tall (medium) Head. 

 Facial angle 0°. 



Fig. 6. The Beoad Head. 

 Facial angle — 10°. 



To nearly all general laws affecting the form of the human body 

 there are exceptions, and the rule just stated is not absolutely uniform 

 in its application. However, the type of head and the outline of face 

 are generally in the relation shown by the diagrams.
