THE FACE OF FOSSIL MAN

fragments we obtain results which give a reliable indica- 
tion of the size and form of the face of Eoanthropus 
(fig. 185). The reconstructed cranium is orientated on 
the plane or line A-B. We have only part of the fore- 
head preserved, the part represented by the angular 
process. There cannot be any difference of opinion as to

the distance of this process in front of the ear. A point 
80 mm. in front of the ear marks the centre of the 
process. The position of the corresponding point in the 
orang is 6^ mm., in the Tasmanian skull 75 mm., in 
the Neanderthal specimen 85 mm. The angular process 
of the Piltdown skull thus occupies a normal human 
position on the plane of orientation. The total projection
