Attention is called to the generalized erosion overthe inner surface of the skull and the visible impression made by the transverse lighter area in the region of the bregma is probably due to erosion caused by thepressure of Pacchionian -BULGINGStEGMA Fig. 12.—Sketch of Fig. 11.

The development ofbreadth is still more inhibited it, in addition to the sagittalsuture, there is also an obliteration of another suture runningin a sagittal direction, the parietotemporal suture, and its an-terior continuation, the sphenoparietal and sphenofrontal su-tures. Such a skull is called leptocephalic (narrow head) orclinocephalic (saddle-head). In the skull base the narrowness and great length of thefossae as well as the diminution of the angle formed by the twopyramids, are very striking. The facial skeleton shows occa-sionally a more prominent and narrower upper jaw, so thatthere occur anomalies in the position of the teeth. The frequency of scaphocephaly is less than that of tu
