Abstract
IN the minds of most of those who have paid no special attention to the subject the skull is regarded as a bony case formed to contain the brain, together with the face. There is also a constancy in the number and position of these bones which lead to the apparently necessary conclusion that occipital, sphenoid, parietal, and other elements are fundamental cranial structures; so that an exhaustive study of their relationships and variations might be thought entirely to cover the subject of skull structure.
