Uniform craniometry. — In September, 1877, a cranioinetric conference 

 was held in Munich (Correspondenzblatt, 1878, No. 7), and a second con- 

 ference in August, 1880, in Berlin (Correspondenzblatt, Bericht iiber die 

 xi, Allg. Versainml., pp. 104-10G). At the thirteenth general meeting, 

 at Frankfort, August, 1882, a perfected scheme was proposed. This is 

 published in Archiv fur Anthropologic, xv, pp. 1-8, 1884, and signed by 

 sixty-seven of the most eminent anthropologists in Germany, Switzer- 

 land, Austria, Italy, and Russia. 



The horizontal. — The line selected for the horizontal of the skull is 

 that extending from the lower edge of the orbital cavity to the middle 

 of the ear-cavity or the upper edge of the internal meatus. 



The linear measures of the cranium are 1G; of the face, 15. The ca- 

 pacity of the skull is taken with shot, if possible. The cranial indices 

 are as follows: 



Dolichocephaly 75 and under. 



Mesocephaly 751-799. 



Brachycephaly 80-.85. 



Hyperbrachycephaly 851 and over. 



Chamyecephaly 70 and under. 



Orthocephaly 701-75. 



Hypsicephaly 751 andover. 



Prognathy , to 82°. 



Mosognathy or orthognathy . 83°-90°. 



Hyperorthognathy 91° and over. 



Other indices are based on the height of the face, orbital cavity, nasal 

 cavity, and palate. 



The following table is drawn up for the purpose of indicating the 

 manner of reporting measurements :
