In the forehead, as we have seen, are located two classesof organs—the Peiceptives and the Reflectives—which fre-quently differ much m size.

Such a cast of forehead as thatshown in Fig. 106 indicates an observing, practical order ofmind, one which readily perceives the qualities and simplerrelations of objects. If the upper portion of the foreheadbe prominent, and the parts over the eyes be compara-tively flat and narrow, the organs of Reflection will , and those of Observation small. The individual REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT. 215 possessed of such a form of bead will be a thinker ratherthan an observer.
