Wanted—Skulls

چکیده
In order to determine the characters of a race, it is necessary that comparison should be made of at least twenty skulls. It is further desirable to have as many of the bones of the skeleton as possible, as comparison of pelvic and long bones give important results in determining race peculiarities. The Hunterian Museum, now under the direction of Professor Flower, F. E. S., is especially interested in this inquiry, which is being vigorously pursued by Mr. Flower, than whom no one is more competent to do it justice. His recent lectures at the College of Surgeons have especially directed my attention to the absence of material for the satisfactory study of Comparative Anthropology, and especially in regard to the numerous races inhabiting the peninsula of India and the adjacent hill territories.

متن کاملA Study of Incidence of Emissary Sphenoidal Foramen in Dry Adult Human Skull Bones
Emissary sphenoidal foramen is an inconstant foramen that gives passage to an emissary vein that connects pterygoid venous plexus with cavernous sinus, the importance of which lies in the fact that an infected thrombus from an extracranial source may reach cavernous sinus. The aim of the present study was to identify the incidence of emissary sphenoidal foramen. 100 dry adult human skulls were ...
