The lambdoid, mast-occipital, masto-parietal, squamous, squamo-sphenoid, spheno-frental,and spheno-m%lar sutures remain ; the sagittal,coronal and frontal, are obliterated; the of the cranium is more oval than in theaverage European skull compared with the one fromFernand Vaz, owing to the more lateral contractionof the forehead in the Fan.
