The bones of the cra-iiitim are united to each other, and to those of the face, by raggededges, called {futures, which are quite distinct in the adult, butin old age are nearly effaced. Some suppose that by this ar-rangement the cranium is less liable to be fri^ctured by blows;others think that the sutures allow the growth of these bones,which takes place by osseous enlargement at the margins. Thebones of the Mice are joiiietl at the lower part ami in front ofthe cranium, ami serve for the attachment of powerful muscles,which assist in the process of mastication.
