89. Parker, Professor T. Jeffery, Otago Museum, Dunedin
A Comparative Series of 12 Vertebrate Skulls, comprising—
1. Frog
2. Crocodile
3. Albatross
4. Koala
5. Wallaby
6. Sheep
7. Pig
8. Horse
9. Greyhound
10. Bull Dog
11. Monkey
12. Man
Each skull is longitudinally bisected, and is so placed that the series of bones forming the base of the skull (basis cranii) is horizontal. The direction of this series of bones is shown by a red wire, which thus represents the cranial axis. From the fore end of this red wire a blue wire is continued along the bones forming the axis of the face, and so marks the facial axis. The green wire indicates the direction of the ethemoidal plane by which the cavity of the brain-case is separated from the chamber of the nose; the black wire, of the tentorial plane, or plane of separation between the greater brain or cerebrun and the lesser brain or cerebellum; the yellow wire, the occipital plane, or plane of the aperture ( occipital foramen), through which the spinal cord becomes continuous with the brain. The outline diagrams represent the position of the brain in the skull in the lowest (frog) and highest (man) members of the series, the cranial axis being made of the same absolute length in both. It will be seen that with the increased relative size of the brain, the facial axis, a c, becomes bent downward upon the cranial axis, a b, the angle, c a b being, in man, nearly a right angle, instead of, as n the frog, equal to two right angles. At the same time the ethemoidal plane, a d, is rotated forwards, the angle d a b. a right angle in the frog, becoming greater than two right angles in man, and the tentorial and occipital planes are rotated backwards, the angles a g e, a b f, becoming obtuse instead of right angles.
