EXAMINATION OF THE MOUTH 211 Highmore is clearly defined, the zygomatic arch stands out prominently,the lower jaw is thrown out in relief, and behind there is a distinct pictureof the mastoid portion of the temporal bone with the air cells. Plate XV. Fig. c shows a small and more distinct view of the centralportion of the bony parts of the head. The points to observe are the levelsof the bone of the skull in relation to the exterior, the clinoid processes withthe sella turcica between, the relation of the chief sutures to the various levels,and the well-marked grooves for blood-vessels in the inner table of the clearly denned shadow is thr
