The Canadian journal of science, literature and history . orportion of the parietal bones, to the greatest parietal width, and thentapering, with slight lateral swell, until it reaches its least breadthimmediately behind the external^angular processes of the frontal remarkable parieto-oceipital flattening has been produced, I con-ceive, by the use, in infancy, of the cradle-board, but without any padsor bandages affecting the forehead. The frontal bone is unusuallyhigh and well-arched; and hence I infer that the occipital modificationhas resulted without any purposed aim at a change of form, as in thecase of the Flathead Indians. It illustrates the effect of persistentand greatly prolonged pressure on the occipital and parietal bones, inone direction, acting on a head naturally of extreme brachycephalicproportions and great posterior breadth. The views here given of it,vertically and laterally, have been executed from the original with 276 RACE HEAD-FORMS AND THEIR considerable care;* and while they serve to indicate some important.
