Nervous and mental diseases . Fig. 272.—Oxycephalus. Fig. 273.—Plagiocephalus, Trlg-onocephalus.—Premature union of the frontal suture, resultingin very narrow forehead and great width behind, giving rise to the termtrigonocephalus (Fig. 275). The two systems of measurement—the craniometrical and the ceph-alometrical—diifer but slightly from each other, the former, of course,being the more exact, since every portion of the naked skull is attain-able. I would recommend the following series of measurements to be. Fig, 274.—Scaphocephalus. Fig. 275.—Trigonocephalus, taken—eleven in number—in order to form a just idea of the capacity,shape, and symmetry of any head (Figs. 276 and 277): (1) The circum-ference ; (2) the naso-occipital arc (N to 7^ ; (3) the nasobregmatic arc[N to /5) ; (4) the bregmatolambdoid arc (/? to A) ; (e5) the binauriculararc ; (6) the anteroposterior diameter (*S to 0) ; (7) the greatest trnns-verse diameter (length-breadth index) ; (8) the binauricular diameter ;(9) the two auriculobregmatic radii; (10) the facial length; (11) theempirical greatest height (B to /S). In addition to acquiring these mathematical data, cephaloscopic GENERAL ETIOLOGY OF INSANITY. 705 drawings are invaluable as exhibiting deformity clearly to the , the horizontal circumference, naso-occipital curve, and binau-ricular curve should be taken with a strip of lead, or, what is better,with the instrument devised by Luys (on the principle of the hatter^sconformateurs), and the curves
