The most medial point on the inner surface of the 

 alveolor ridge opposite the middle of the second upper 

 molar tooth; used in taking the palatal breadth 

 (Fig. 25, y). 



The two points opposite each other on the sides 

 of the skull which form the termini of the line of 

 greatest breadth. 



The orbital end of the fronto-jugal (fronto-malar) 

 suture, that is, its superficial part. 

 The outer, or temporal, end of the foregoing. 

 The most medial point on the incurve of the tem- 

 poral ridge, just above the fronto-jugal suture. 

 The median point of the genial tubercles of the body 

 of the mandible, lingual side.

glabella (g) 



gnathion (gn) 

 gonion (go) f 



The most prominent point in the median line 

 between the two eyebrow ridges, a little above 

 the fronto-nasal suture. 



The lowest median point on the lower border of the 

 mandible. 



Literally, the angle of the mandible between body 

 and ramus. In practice this is hard to determine 

 in jaws with a rounded angle, but in cases where this 

 is pronounced the point taken is the anterior lower 

 corner of the square process forming the angle. 

 Where the outline is softer and more rounded, by 

 following the marginal contour backwards from the 

 body, there is seen a slight curve upwards, imme-
