There are four other fontanels frequently to be foundin the cranium, but they are of very minor are the anterior lateral at the terminations of thebi-frontal commissure, where it meets with the sphenoidbone. They are small, irregular in form, and so coveredby the temporal muscle and other tissues as not to berecognized during labor. The two posterior lateral fon-tanels (Plate IV., Fig. 37) are of more are situated at the lower termination of the oc-cipito-parietal commissure above the mastoid portionsof the temporal bone. They are small, very irregularin their form, and should not be confounded with theposterior superior fontanel, from which they can bevery readily distingui
