NoTEfl oif THE Table of MsASUBEUENm 



All the measurements given in the preceding table correspoiad to 

 those recommended Ijj Broca in the " Instmctiona Cmnioiogiques " 

 (Pane, 1875)j, except the following, some of whicii are not given in that 

 work :— 



The transverse arcs. — ^These are measured with the tape from the point 

 on the ridge at the posterior root of the zygoma immediately above the 

 middle of the external auditory meatus^ where the ridge is crossed by 

 the aurtculo-bregmatic line (the eourbe sm^uriculare of Broca) over the 

 respective parts of the cranium, to the oorreaponding point on the 

 opposite temporal bone. 



MaJio-tdveolar length. — FroTO the nasion to the alveolar point. 



Palaiinf rcj^f'on.— The uiaxillary length is measured from the alveolar 

 point to the middle of a line drawti across the hinder borders of the 

 maxillary tulwrositSes. Tliia easily done by etretehing a piece of fine 

 wire across the back of the mouth, the wire resting on each side in the 

 groove lietweeu tlie pterygoid and the tuberosity. The width is taken 

 between the outer borders of Ihe alveolar arch immediately above the 

 middle of the second molar tooth. 



Facial anf/k.—The angle formed by the meeting of the auriculo-alveo- 

 lar base line with the ophryo-alveolar face line at the alveolar point 

 measured with Broca 's median goniometer. 



Nasi-maiar angle. — The angle formed by the nasal bones and the ex- 

 ternal margins of the orbits at a point a little tielow the fronto-malai 

 articulation, 



A\m-majtil!artj angle. — Explained in the text^ page 344. 



Bdsitar angle — This is the angle N B Y of tile " Instructions/' p. 92, 

 or the nasO'basio-opisthial angla. 



Bi'zygm^phanic /jirf^c.— Defined in the text, page 343. 



CoHoroid height, — From the gonion to the top of the coronoid process. 



6onCo-st/mphe»iaJ height measured with the calipers. 



The size of the glabella, na^al bones, and spine, inion, wormian bones, 

 and wear of teeth, are indicated by Eroea's descriptive numbeM given 

 in the *' Instnictions," 



Explanation of FtaU (pp. 344, 346). 



All the figures represent the sknlls with the alveolo-condylar plane 

 horizontal. 



The photozincographe were reduced from drawings by Mr, J. G. 

 Goodchild,the outlines of the skulls from which they are taken having 

 been previously geometrically projected by means of Broca 's stereograph 

 by myself.
