620 Cerebrology in Phrenology. 
cial divisions, these animal traits undoubtedly could accompany 
extra prominence of these muscles in the place assigned to these 
faculties by the phrenologists, while there is not a cerebral or cra- 
nial warrant for the location, palpably when beneath this muscu- 
lar swelling the skull is often depressed to afford it attachment. 
“ Alimentiveness” is appropriately placed over the temporo-max- 
illary articulation ; a great eater works this vicinity more, and thus 
may increase its size. 
The superciliary ridge may be enlarged by serviceable and asso- 
ciated habit in shielding the eye, frowning while trying to per- 
ceive better, and thus indicate perceptive acuteness, but the sub- 
divisions into size, color, etc., require demonstration, as extremely 
doubtful. : 
“Form” is said to be shown by width between the eyes. I 
know good artists who have not this width, and execrable ones 
who have it. Language does not produce cedema of the lower 
eye-lids; the faculty is remotely and surely situated under the 
alleged “ Constructiveness. 
It would not be profitable to discuss the other bumps, as they 
seem rather absurd. 
We thus alight upon three main character indications, due to 
brain, skull or muscle prominences, which the phrenologists errone- 
ously call cranial, and regard the brain as the cause of the skul 
elevations. 
Thus, for cerebral reasons, there seems to be a plausibility in the 
location of 
Firmness, Self: esteem, Continuity. Possibly justified by the 
underlying motor centres for the arm and leg, Cerebral control of 
the body. 
Cautiousness, Conscientiousness, Approbativeness. Inhibitory 
faculties situated over spaces between rearward braim centres. 
Benevolence, Hope, Ideality, Constructiveness. Inhibitory oF 
impulse faculties between motor and intellect centres. 
Causality, Comparison, Eventuality, Individuality. Intellectual 
faculties of the fore brain, internuncial fibrils relating other brain 
parts, correlating impulse areas, 
For muscular and cranial reasons there is justification for the 
grouping of
