EXPLANATION

OF

PLATE 37.

The figures on this plate illustrate the comparison made in the text p. 86 between the Mammalian skull
and an antique Amphora.

Fig. 1. A rather long-necked Amphora. The broken line indicates the place of the lamina cribrosa in the
skull, the two circles the position af the eyes.

The other figures represent schematic horizontal sections of various skulls. In some cases the anterior
part of the section in reality forms an obtuse angle with the posterior part. The spheres indicate the position
of the eyes. Several of the figures (2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10) have been made from real sections, others have been
constructed after an examination of skulls, which could not be sectioned in this manner, but which otherwise
were accessible to examination.
