Abstract By means of a new method of measurement which defines a total of eight measuring points along the median sagittal plane of the skull, methodical aspects are explained. The advantages of this method consist in its easy use and exact reproducibility of the calculated data thus obtained. On account of the fact that it permits to obtain the median sagittal plane of the skull by means of points of a cartesian system of coordinate, phylogenetic comparison, standardisable on optional points of reference respectively planes of reference is possible. The specific trigonometric construction enables extensive interpretation of single angles, distances and parts of surface, the amount of detail of which exceeds that of method in use.
