8. Height of he face, total; e.g. (optional). 10 



Landmarks: In median plane, superiorly the hair line; inferiorly 

 the inferior border of the lower jaw. A slight pressure is to be used, 

 to discount the soft parts. 



9. Menton-nasion diameter; e.g. 1 



Same technique as on the skull, and using slight pressure, as with 

 preceding measurement. 



Look for the nasion by passing the nail along the ridge of the nose 

 until it encounters a slight ridge which is formed by the inferior 

 border of the frontal [or the depression of the nasion itself]. 



10. The naso-buccal diameter; e.g. 



Landmarks in the median plane: Superiorly the nasion; inferiorly 

 the line between the lips. 



11. The naso-alveolar diameter; e.g. 



Same technique as on the skull. It is always easily possible to turn 

 the lips up so that the free border of the gums can be seen. 



12. Height of the nose; e.g. 



Landmarks: Superiorly the nasion; inferiorly the nasal septum 

 where it joins the upper lip. Do not press.

13. Breadth of the nose; e.g. 



Landmarks: The external surface of the alae of the nose. The max- 

 imum breadth to be determined without the exertion of any pressure. 



14. Prominence of the nose at its base [i. e. t length or height of the sep- 



tum] (fig. 7). 



Landmarks: Anteriorly the most prominent part of the point of 

 the nose; posteriorly the point where the septum is intersected by a 

 transverse line joining the deepest points of the two naso-labial fur- 

 rows.
