Long BarroiD and Round Barrow Skulls 
B. Greatest breadth measured outside the squamosals. 
B". Auricular breadth of Virchow— distance between the upper borders of 
the auditory canal. 
B'. Smallest frontal breadtli. 
H'. Height. From the anterior border of the foramen magnum to the 
point on the surface of the skull, in a line vertical to the horizontal plane. 
H. Auxiliary height. From the anterior border of the foramen magnum to 
the bregma, i.e. the juncture of the sagittal and coronary sutures. 
OH. Auricular height, measured with the vertical scale and sliding rod of 
the craniophor (Biometrika, Vol. I. p. 414). 
LB. Basicranial length, measured from the anterior border of the foramen 
magnum to the nasion. 
fml. Greatest length of foramen, magnum. 
fmb. Greatest breadth of foramen magnum. 
U. Horizontal ciixumference, measured with the steel band measure over 
the superciliary ridges in front and the most projecting part of the skull behind. 
S. Sagittal circumference, measured from the nasofrontal suture to the 
posterior border of the foramen magnum over the sagittal suture. 
Q. Vertical transverse circumference, measured from the upper border of the 
ear opening of one side to that of the other, in a plane vertical to the horizontal 
plane. 
The foregoing measurements are described in the Archiv fur Anthropologic, 
Band XV., Braunschweig, 1884. 
B. Facial Measurements. 
G' H. Upper face height, measured from the nasion to the middle of the 
central process of the upper jaw between the middle incisor teeth, (i.e. the 
alveolar point). 
GB. Face breadth, being the distance from one zygomatic maxillary suture to 
the other. The measurement must be taken from the lower end of these sutures, 
from the lower front rim of one cheek-bone to that of the other. 
J. Bizygomatic breadth, from the outermost point of one zygomatic arch to the 
like point on the other. 
NH. Nasal lieigJit, measured from the nasion to the lowest edge of the 
pyriform aperture. 
NB. Nasal breadth, greatest breadth of the nasal aperture, wherever it 
may be. 
Oj. Breadth of orbit for both left (L) and right {R) eyes, measured from the 
"point lacrymal " on the inner side to the inner margin of the orbit on the other 
side, along a line parallel to the general slope of the orbit.
