greater or lesser animal resemblance of a skull. The position 

 of the foramen magnum forward or backward, the distance of its 

 anterior border from the posterior margin of the osseous palate 

 and the alveolar margin of the lower jaw, the breadth and curva- 

 ture of the zygomatic arch, the distance of the articular cavities 

 of the lower jaw, the distance and curvature of the mastoid pro- 

 cesses, the direction of the auditory openings, and the curva- 

 ture of the petrous portion of the temporal, the height and 

 breadth of the posterior nostrils — all these proportions deserve 

 the fullest consideration. The very complicated structure of 

 the base of the skull does not, however, admit of a definite 

 terminology of the parts similar to that applied to the other 

 views of the cranium. We shall have to recur to some points 

 touched upon here in our next lecture.
