The following configurations, taken from the list, are fairly typical of the usual shaping of the skull, in a horizontal plane, at various ages during its most rapid growth. 180. The fetal skull is very small, and oval at an early stage, as both the sensori-motor and in- tellectual centres have not yet be- gun to grow. The former begins to develop later in intra-uterine life, and the latter the last of all. This is beautifully shown in the configurations of the two fetal skulls. The first shows an oval, undeveloped brain, while the second exhibits the forcing out of the parietal bosses by the rapid evo- lution of the sensori- motor area of the brain, while the front of the skull appears station- ary, from the size of the configuration. After birth and with increase iii the age of the in- fants, there is noted a gradual and steady enlargement of the great circumference of the Skull, and, frOlT) FIG, 95.-Fetal Skull, Seven Months, Showing the 1] ■ r •■ ,• , .
