COMPAEISON OF METOPIG WITH NOBMAL SKULLS. 

 (Barnard Davis Collection, Eoyal College of Surgeons of England.) 



Male Skulls. 



General Collection, Royal College of Surgeons of England. 



The above table shows the average diameters and capacities of metopic compared 

 with normal skulls of corresponding sex and nationality. It will be observed that there 

 is a slight increase in the width of the frontal bone in the metopic skulls as compared 

 with the normal skulls ; that the fronto- parietal index, or proportion that the minimum 

 frontal diameter bears to the maximum frontal diameter, is greater in the metopic than 

 in normal skulls, and also that the capacity of the metopic skulls is greater than that of 

 the normal.
