bone. The auditory bullte are chiefly formed by an expan¬ 
sion of the alte of the sphenoid, hut partly by the petrous 
bone ; the sphenoidal portion is large, presents nearly an 
oval outline, is very convex, and runs, from within, obliquely 
forwards and outwards; the part due to the petrous element 
of the temporal bone is also convex, long, narrow, and runs 
parallel with the sphenoidal portion—it is comparatively 
small. The rami of the lower jaw are narrow in the vertical 
direction ; the coronoid process is moderately elevated ; the 
angular portion assumes the form of an isosceles triangle. 
The dimensions in the first of the two columns here sub¬ 
joined are taken from a skeleton in the Royal College of 
Surgeons, and those in the second are from some parts of a 
skeleton in the British Museum : this latter must have 
belonged to a very large individual.
