In the child the protuberance is not developed; its position may be denned by taking a point at the junction of the upper and 'middle thirds of a line extending from the posterior pole of the skull to the spine of the epi- stropheus. About a third of the distance from the nasion to the inion is the bregma or junction of the coronal and sagittal sutures; with the head in the natural erect posture the bregma corresponds to the middle of a line carried across the vertex between the pre-auricular points of the zygomatic arches. At birth the position of the bregma is occupied by the anterior fontanelle, a rhom- boidal membranous area which generally becomes ossified at about the eighteenth month. The size and date of closure of the fontanelle, as well as its tension and pulsa- tion,
