The regions of the skull marked ? were left unnamed by Gall. 
The hypothesis of Gall, which for a time counted numerous adherents, 
was subsequently almost entirely forgotten, and only resuscitated in more 
modern times by the labors of English and American investigators. 
Although the general principles remained the same, the number of organs 
was increased from twenty-seven to thirty-six, and the name of the science 
changed from Cranioscopy to that of Phrenology. 
Some phrenologists, with Noel, assume the following six regions as con- 
nected with the mental faculties: 1. The posterior basilar region, containing 
the cerebellum, and supposed to be the seat of the instinct of reproduction: 
2. The lateral basilar region, the region of the ear; the seat of the inferior, 
selfish feelings; the propensities to selfaggrandizement, distinction, &c. 
3. The posterior region of the head above the cerebellum, the seat of social 
qualities, love of children, attachment, fidelity, &. 4. The region of the 
vertex, or crown of the head, the seat of the higher egotistical feelings, as 
self-esteem, love of approbation, &. 5. The anterior superior portion of 
the head, the seat of the higher moral and religious sentiments, as benevo- 
lence, veneration, firmness, conscientiousness. 6. The forehead, the seat of 
the intellectual organs, the perceptive being situated in the lower part, the 
reflective above. | 
We shall now, in conclusion, present the order in which the different 
mental faculties are mapped out by phrenologists of the present day, refer- 
ring to pl. 120, figs. 18-21. 
A. PROPENSITIES OR INSTINCTS. 1. Amativeness: les between the occi- 
pital condyles. 
2. Philoprogenitiveness: lies above the middle of the cerebellum. Its 
form varies; in some it is an oval elevation, as in females; in others it is 
more elongated. 
3. Inhabitiveness: beneath Self:Esteem. It produces the desire of perma- 
nence in place. 
4. Concentrativeness : lies between Philoprogenitiveness and Inhabitiveness. 
The power of concentrating all the faculties on one point. 
5. Adhesiveness: on each side of the preceding. Attachment, friendship, 
love of society. 
6. Combativeness: situated on each side, at the inferior posterior corner of 
the parietal bones.
