PHYSICAL ANTHROPOLOGY. 
This section is situated on the east and south galleries of the 
East Court. On the east gallery is the Anthropometric Labora- 
tory, in which are placed the various physical apparatus. 
There are in the same room, apparatus for illustrating the 
law governing the distribution of individuals in a binominal curve, 
and for the drawing of the outlines of the various parts of the 
skeleton. 
In addition there are apparatus for taking the measurements 
of the body. Among the instruments here used are an adjustable 
table for measuring the stature, and a chair constructed on a sim- 
ilar principle to study the variations in the length of the trunk, at 
different angles of incline to the perpendicular. 
A notice hung in the middle panel, on the outside of the lab- 
oratory wall, will indicate the hours during which the laboratory 
will be open. 
On the south gallery are situated cases containing the collec- 
tions of crania, skeletons, etc. 
Case 1. — Craniometrical nomenclature. 
Case 2. — Sexual variation in the skeleton. 
Case 3. — Skulls showing the range of variation in the 
sutures. 
Case 4. — Skulls showing the range of variation at the gla- 
bella and pterion, and in the orbits. 
Case 5. — Skulls showing variation in the nasal skeleton and 
in the degrees of prognathism. 
Case 6 . — Skulls showing variations in the intermaxillary 
suture, mastoid process, shape of palate and direction of palatine 
suture, and at the region of inion. 
Case 7.— Skulls showing variations in the lower jaw, lach- 
rymal bone and occipital condyles. 
Case 8 . — Clavicles and scapulae selected to show range of 
variation. 
Case 9. — Skulls showing the range of variation in dentition. 
Case 10. — Sacri, sterni and ossa innominata selected to 
show range of variation.
