622 Developmental Significance of Human Physiognomy. (june, 
the following characters of monkey-like significance are the oppo- 
sites of those included in the embryonic list: (14) The facial 
region of the skull is large as compared with the cerebral; (15) 
the forehead is not prominent ; (16) the superciliary ridges are 
more prominent; (17) the edges of the jaws are more prominent.

It must be noted here that the difference between the por 
and embryonic monkeys and the adults, is quite the 54 ne i

man (Figs. 1-2). The change, however, in the case of the mo 
is greater than in the case of man. That is, in the monkeys "° 
jaws and superciliary ridges become still more prom! 
man. As these characters result from a longer "i of 
from the infant, it is evident that in these respects th d ee
