22 CATALOGUE OP 



[The Finnish skull has a square or somewhat angularly round appear- 

 ance. The antero-posterior diameter being comparatively short, it 

 falls within the brachy-cephalic class of Retzius. The forehead is 

 broad, though less expansive than in the true Germanic race. This 

 frontal breadth, the lateral expansion of the parietalia, and the flat- 

 ness of" the OS occipitis, give to the coronal region, when viewed 

 perpendicularly, a square, or rather slightly oblong appearance. 

 The face is longer and less broad than in the Mongolian head, 

 while the lower jaw is larger, and the chin more prominent. 

 Hence, the lower part of the face is advanced, somewhat in the 

 manner of the Sclavonian face. The whole head is rather massive 

 and rude in structure, the bony prominences being strongly cha- 

 racterized, and the sutures well defined. The general configura- 

 tion of the head is European, bearing certain resemblances, how- 

 ever, to the Mongolian on the one hand, and the Sclavonian on the 

 other.]
