60 THE TONER LECTURES. 



beral, 5° 5°""; obelial, 2"; post-obelial, 2°. The obelial is serrate; 

 post-bregmal depression is markedly developed. 



No. 34, Krira : 

 Synostotic, forehead prominent; resembles skull of Pomeranian 

 weaver described by B. Davis ; metopic eminence conspicuous. 

 Entire region of bregmal, post-bregmal portions, and the anterior 

 half of the intertuberal is elevated, but broadly carinate. The 

 posterior half of the intertuberal is smooth ; the obelial and post- 

 obelial portions carinate. 



No. 98, Gypsy : 

 Vertex remarkably "cut off" posteriorly. Entire suture-line is 

 carinate except the post-obelial portion. 



Australian skull (Col. of Phys.) : 



Sagittal suture open ; bregraal, 1" ; post-bregmal, 1" ; intertuberal, 

 6" ; obelial, 2" ; post-obelial, 2^ 



In the skulls of Esquimaux, A. N. S., the vertex is "cut off;" 

 the intertuberal, excepting the post-bregmal part, is carinate in 

 No. 678. The entire intertuberal is carinate in No. 279 ; the 

 para-obelial eminence continuous, with a smaller ridge which ex- 

 tends one-half the length of the intertuberal portion of the sagittal 

 suture in No. 677. 



The right and left sides of the vertex are almost always asym- 

 metrical. The left side at the forehead is commonly more project- 

 ing than the posterior part of the parietal bone of the same side. 

 The reverse of these proportions is seen on the right. At the level 

 of the occiput the left part may be projecting. Thus a circumfer- 

 ential measurement of the left side at the level of the frontal emi- 

 nence may show the curve exaggerated anteriorly while diminished 

 posteriorly, and a similar measurement taken from frontal emi- 

 nence, so as to include the occiput above the inion, will show both 

 anterior and posterior parts exaggerated on the left side as com- 

 pared with those on the right.
