Carpenter's principles of human physiology . Profile and basal views of the Prognathous Skull of a Negro. in the prognathous skull as in the oval one—namely, exactly behind thetransverse line bisecting the antero-posterior diameter of the base of thecranium. The prognathous skull is further remarkable for the large develop-ment of the parts connected with the organs of setise, especially those of smelland hearing. The aperture of the nostrils is very wide, and the internalspace allowed for the distribution of the olfactory nerve is much larger thanin most European heads; the posterior openings of the nasal cavity are notless remarkable for their width than the anterior. The external auditorymeatus is also peculiarly wide and spacious ; and the orbital cavities have beenthought to be of more than ordinary capacity—but this last is by no means aconstant character. 793. A second type of cranial conformation, very different from the pre-ceding, belongs principally to the nomadic races which wander with theirherds and flocks over
