bone to the posterior end of the inter-parietal bone is usually less than 

 the leng-th measured from the same point to the end of the occipital 

 bone, both measurements were taken (see fig. 1). The difference be- 

 tween these two measurements was added to the length from the tip 

 of the frontal bone to the end of the inter-parietal bone, and the sum 

 was called the fronto-occipital length. '^^ 



The width of the cranium (squamosal distance) w^as determined by 

 taking the maximum distance between the two points (right and left) 

 where the zygomatic bones rest on the lateral walls of the cranium.
