In otherwords, it is the developmentof the teeth that is subjectto variation and rarely theposition of the cleft, so thatwhen the teeth are normallydeveloped the alveolar cleftpasses between the centraland lateral incisors. A simple or incompletehare-lip results from failureof union of the naso-frontaland maxillary processes. Ifthis failure of union extendsto the lateral nasal process,the cleft will then involve the alveolus andopen into the nostril—a condition known as analveolar or complete hare-lip and usually asso-ciated with a cleft ?!/.

Coalescence of the palatine portions of the naso-frontal, lateral nasal, and maxillary processescommences at the anterior palatine foramen andextends both forwards and backwards from this point, the lip and tlie uvnla being the last partsto unite; so that a cleft lip or cleft uvula mayexist without the involvement of the jaw,whereas the reverse condition would be im-possible for developmental reasons. Failure of union of the naso-frontal and lateralnasal processes medially \\ith the maxillaryprocess laterally gives rise to what is known asa
