Fio. 108. Under surface. FIG. 109. Upper surface. FIG. 110. Longitudinal ver- 

 tical section ; one-half natural size : SO, supraoccipital ; ExO, exoccipital ; BO, 

 basioecipital ; IP, interparietal ; Pa, parietal ; Fr, frontal ; Sq, squamosal ; Ma, 

 malar; L, lachrymal ; MX, maxilla ; PMx, premaxilla ; ^a, nasal ; MT, maxillo- 

 turbinal: ET, ethmoturbinal ; ME, ossitied portion of the mesethmoid; CE, cri- 

 briform, or sieve-like, plate of the ethmoturbinal ; VO, vomer ; PS, presphenoid ; 

 OS, orbitosphenoid ; AS, alisphenoid ; BS, basisphenoid ; PI, palatine; Pt, 

 pterygoid ; Per, periotic ; Ty, tympanic bnlla ; an, anterior narial aperture ; ap, 

 or apf, anterior palatine foramen ; ppf, posterior palatine foramen ; to, infra- 

 orbital foramen ; pof, postorbital process of frontal bone ; op, optic foramen ; sf, 

 sphenoidal fissure ; ft; foramen rotnndum, and anterior opening of alisphenoid 

 canal; as, posterior opening of alisphenoid canal ; fo, foramen ovale ; Jim, fora- 

 men lacerum medium; of, glenoid fossa; gp, postglenoid process; pgf, post- 

 glenoid foramen ; earn, external auditory meatus ; sm, stylomastoid foramen ; 

 flp, foramen lacerum posterius ; cf, coudylar foramen ; pp, paroccipital process ; 

 oc, occipital coudyle ; fm, foramen magnum ; a, angular process ; s, eymphyeis of 

 the mandible where it unites with the left ramns ; id, inferior dental canal ; cd, 

 condyle ; cp, coronoid process ; the * indicates the part of the cranium to which 

 the condyle is articulated when the mandible is in place ; the upper border in 

 which the teeth are implanted is called alveolar; sh, eh, ch, 6ft, th, hyoidean ap- 

 paratus, or os linguae, supporting the tongue. In the skulls of old animals, 

 there are three ridges: occipital, behind; sagittal, median, on the upper surface; 

 and super orbital, across the frontal, in the region of the eyebrows. The last is 

 highly developed in the Gorilla and other Apes. 



* In this diagram, modified from Huxley's, the italicized bones are single ; the 

 rest are double. Those in the line of the Ethmoid form the Cranio -facial Axis; 

 these, with the other sphenoids and occipitals, are developed in cartilage ; the rest 

 are membrane bones. In the Human skull, the four occipitals coalesce into one.
