Further Notes on the same Subject. 
Proprosopic and Platyoprosopic are terms used to indicate 
whether the middle part of the face, between the level of the 
lower part of the nose and the supra-orbital level above, pro¬ 
jects forward or is flat. In the former the breadth of the face at 
the level of the cheekbones appears diminished by these hones 
receding or being as it were pressed inwards, so that the face 
curves regularly forward from the ears to the nose, the latter is 
consequently prominent, and appears as a keel on the top of 
the arch. In the second the face is broad and flat in appear¬ 
ance, the cheekbones are prominent, and in extreme forms 
the side and front of the face are almost at right angles to 
one another, the bend of the angle being at the cheekbones, 
and the nose appears as if projecting from an almost flat 
surface. Extreme forms of the first type are frequently seen 
amongst English people, while the most marked type of the 
second is met with in the Eskimo and some of the Chinese. 
Two degrees of the proprosopic type and three of the ortho- 
prosopic are given in the Schedule, while the intermediate 
condition of face is represented by the mesoprosopic form, of 
which the Celtic type of face may be taken as a fair 
example.
