Reading edition

For the relation of the alisphenoid, squamous, and frontal, see Broca, Instructions Craniologiques, pp. 26, 27, 1875; and Gruber, Ueber die Verbindung der Schläfenbeinschuppe mit dem Stirnbein. Mém. de l’Académie Impériale des Sciences de St. Pétersbourg, tom. xxi. No. 5, 1874. Hermann Schlocker, Ueber die Anomalieen des Pterion; Inaugural Dissertation Zum. Univ. Dorpat. 1879.

It is right, however, to add that the skull of the Bushwoman whose brain Professor Marshall has described, l.c., had the squamous of the left side joined to the frontal, and that with obliteration of the suture; and that though Dr. Williamson has not recorded the presence of this junction in any of the three Bushman crania described by him in his Catalogue of the Army Medical Museum, 1867, he has noted it in two out of the seven skulls of the closely affined Hottentot race.
