[Case 1.) 



1. 1260. Cast of a Norwegian skull. From Prof. Retzius, of Stock- 

 holm, A. D. 1845. 

 ([This cast is remarkable for its great size. It belongs to the dolicho- 

 cephalic variety of Retzius. The fronto-parietal convexity is regu- 

 lar from side to side. The occipital region as a whole is quite pro- 

 minent ; but the basal portion of the occiput is flat and parallel 

 with the horizon when the head rests squarely upon the lower jaw. 

 The glabella^ superciliary ridges^ and external angular processes of 

 the OS frontis are very rough and prominent, overhanging the orbits 

 and inter-orbital space in such a manner as to give a very harsh 

 and forbidding expression to the face. The semi-circular ridges 

 passing back from the external angular process, are quite elevated 

 and sharp. The nasal bones are high and rather sharp at the line 

 of junction ; orbits spacious } malar bones of moderate size, and 

 flattened antero-laterally ; superior maxilla rather small in com- 

 parison with the inferior, which is quite large, and much flared 

 out at the angles. The facial angle is good, and the whole head 

 strongly marked.]
