Norma frontalis (Fig. 2). The face is relatively broad, and there 

 is a certain amount of subnasal prognathism. The orbits are rect- 

 angular with their long axis passing down and out. The orbital index 

 is microseme, and the nasal aperture is platyrJiine. The nasal bones 

 are very narrow, short and stout. 



Noi-mn Ixiftilarlx. The cranium bulges all round beyond the base 

 and in front the alveolar process projects forwards like a beak. The 

 mastoid processes are small and delicate and made up of cancellous 

 tissue. The palate is broad and short and the alveolar processes con-

verge slightly behind the second molar teeth. To the inner side of the 

 left alveolar process at a point corresponding to the interval between 

 the first and second molar teeth there is an opening leading into the 

 antrum of Highmore. The opening is oval in shape with a smooth 

 even slightly everted margin, and measures 7 mm. by 6 mm. The 

 second molar tooth is in xitu and healthy, while the first molar tooth

 much worn. The wisdom teeth have been present in the upper jaw 

 but have fallen out /><>xf->uoi-tem. In the lower jaw the second molar
