35-d' REPORTS OX THE STATE OF SClENCfi. 



Condijk^ of the humerus. — The projections at the elbow -joint 01! 

 either side of the lower end of the humerus or arm-bone. The internal 

 condyle forms a pi'ominence on the inner side of the limb appreciable to 

 the eye ; the external condyle, in a person of good muscular development, 

 does not form a projection on the surface. It can be felt at the bottom 

 of a slight depression on the posterior aspect of the limb. 



Cranium. — The part of the skull which forms a protective bony cover- 

 ing for the brain. 



Darwinian tubercle. — A small projection very frequently present on 

 the free edge of the folded border (or heli.K) of the hinder part of the ear, 

 near the summit of the auricle (see figs. 1 and 2). It is the morphological 

 apex of the ear. 



External and internal malleoli. — The prominent projections on either 

 side of the ankle-joint. These are best felt from behind and below. The 

 external malleolus is formed by the lower end of the fibula or outer bone 

 of the leg, and reaches lower down than the internal malleolus. The 

 internal malleolus is the broader of the two, and is formed by the lower 

 end of the tibia, or inner bone of the leg. 



Face. — The part of the skull which lies below the fore portion of the 

 cranium. It is composed of the jaws and other bones which are arranged 

 around the cavities of the orbits, nose, and mouth. 



Frontal crests, — If the forehead is grasped between the finger and 

 thumb immediately above and to the outer side of each of the orbits a 

 ridge of bone will be felt curving ui^wards and backwards on each side 

 of the cranium. This is the frontal crest. 



G'labella. — Prominence in the mid-line of the forehead between the 

 two eyebrows. 



Great trochanter. — The outstanding projection at the upper end of the 

 shaft of the thigh-bone (femur) external to the hip-joint. 



Iliac crests.— T\iQ curved upper edges of the haunch or pelvic bones. 



Iliac tubercle. — A projection on the outer edge of the iliac crest, about 

 one and a half or two inches behind the anterior superior spine of the 

 ilium. 



Incisura interirayica.-^^The prominence in front of the ear-hole is the 

 tragus ; the prominence behind the ear- hole is the antitragus. The narrow 

 interval between and below these prominences is the incisura inter- 

 tragica (figs. 1 and 2). 



Inion. — External occipital protuberance ; a prominence on the under 

 aspect of the back of the head and in the middle line, at the point where 

 the curved outline of the back of the head meets the outline of the back 

 of the neck. 



JVasion. — The bottom or deepest part of the depression between the 

 forehead (glabella) and the nose, or, in other Avords, the most depressed 

 part at the root of the nose. 



Occipital point.—The point in the middle line on the back of the 

 head which is most distant from the glabella. It can only be determined 

 by the callipers. 



Ophryon. — A point, usually very obscurely marked, in the mid-line 

 between the prominence of the glabella and the place where the frontal 

 curve {i.e., curve of the forehead) begins. It can also be determined by 

 taking the mid-point of the transverse m.easurement across the narrowest 

 part of the forehead frcm one frontal crest to the other.
