The lateral and posterior portionsof the skull are very prominent because of two large crests. Thetransverse section is nearly coincident with the posterior border of thesuperciliary ridges. The lateral sections are made in two segments, COMPARATIVE POSTMORTEMS 391 beginning at the ends of the transverse frontal incision and passingback over the temples to the foramen magnum. Clement has deviseda better method (Figs. 180 and 181). First clear away all that partof the calvarium formed by the frontal eminence and the lateraldepressions by sawing through the skull in a line passing from just infront of the horns obliquely backward and downward to the condylesor foramen magnum. After removing this plate of bone the whole ofthe posterior portion of the brain is exposed. Next make a transverseincision on a level with the superciliary ridges across the anterior endof the c
