![[4'5] at this point, Tune is small. I ha\e generall}- found this organ small in adults, so that it is difficult to find its relati\e size, but in children it is very easily found. Its decline is consequent on its non-exercise. Time and Tune join each other, while Time, Tune, and Mirthfulness occupy the three angles of a triangle, nearly equilateral, the shortest side being between Time and Tune. Language is located parti} above and parti}- behind the eyes. When it is large, it pushes the eyes downward and out- ward, and of course shoves them forward, which gi^-es them a full appearance, as if they were standing partly out of their sockets, and causes both the upper and under eyelids to be wide and broad. AVhen the eyes are sunken, and their lids narrow, Language will be found small. By following these rules exactly and specifically, the precise location of the organs can be ascertained, and a few observations upon heads will soon teach you the appearance of the respective organs when they are large, small, or midway in size. Some slight allowances are to be made, howe\ er, in calculating the size of the head, or the relati\e size of the organs. Thus, the larger Combativeness is, the longer the line from Combativeness to the ear ; yet large and small Combativeness do not vary this line o\er from a quarter to half an inch. Probably the most difficult point of discrimination is between. Hope and Conscientiousness, and it should be distinctly borne in mind that Hope is generally placed too far forward. Between Hope, Cautiousness, and Approbativeness there probably exists an organ, the natural functions of which are discretion. It measures words and acts, and in business leads one to take receipts, draw writings, etc. There are doubtless other organs yet undiscovered, especially in the midcHe line of the head.](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b21053030_0054.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
