Length of Cranium. — Measured with callipers from the most prominent 

 Urt of the projection between the eyebrows (glabella) to the most distant 

 )int at the back of the head in the middle line. Care should be taken 

 • keep the end of the callipers steady on the glabella by holding it there 

 tth the fingers, while the other extremity is searching for the maximum 

 'ojection of the head behind. 



Breadth of Cranium. — The maximum breadth of head, which is usually 

 )out the level of the top of the ears, is measured at right angles to the 

 ngth. Care must be taken to hold the instrument so that both its points 

 •e exactly on the same horizontal level. 



Face Length. — This is measured from the slight furrow which marks 

 te root of the nose, and which is about the level of a line drawn from the 

 ■litre of the pupil of one eye to that of the other, to the under part of the 

 lin. Should there be two furrows, as is often the case, measure from 

 itween them. 



Upper Face Length. — From root of nose to the interval between the two 

 antral front teeth at their roots. 



Face Breadth. — Maximum breadth of face between the bony projections 

 . front of the ears. 



Inter-ocular Breadth. — Width between the internal angles of the eyes. 

 r hile this is being measured the subject should shut his eyes. 



Bigonial Breadth. — Breadth of face at the outer surface of the angles 

 ' the lower jaw below the ears. 



JSfose Length. — From the furrow at root of nose to the angle between 

 le nose and the upper lip in the middle line. 



Breadth of Nose. — Measured horizontally across the nostrils at the 

 idest part, but without compressing the nostrils. 



Height of Head. — The head should be so held that the eyes look straight 

 rward to a point at the same level as themselves — i.e., the plane of vision 

 lOuld be exactly horizontal. The rod of the Anthropometer should be 

 ild vertically in front of the face of the subject, and the upper straight 

 •m should be extended as far as possible and placed along the middle 

 re of the head ; the shorter lower arm should be pushed up to the lower 

 irface of the chin. When measured with the square the depending bar 

 ust be held vertically in front of the face (with the assistance of the 

 •irit-level or plumb-line), and the small set-square passed up this arm 

 om below in such a manner that its horizontal upper edge will come into 

 >ntact with the lower contour of the chin. The distance between the 

 wer edge of the horizontal bar of the square and the upper edge of the 

 t-square can be read off, and this will be the maximum height of the 

 iad. 



Height of Cranium. — The head being held in precisely the same manner 

 in measuring the height of the head, the instrument is rotated to the 

 ft side of the head, its upper bar still resting on the crown, and the 

 cording arm (or the set-square) is pointed to the centre of the line of 

 tachment of the small projecting cartilage in front of the ear-hole. 



Note. — It is essential that these rules should be strictly followed in 

 der to secure accuracy. All measurements must be made in millimetres.
