With 'a b'. The'tentorial angle, ' then all these, in the mammal in question, are nearlyright angles, varying between 80 degrees and 110 degrees. The angle 'e fb'. , or that made by the cranial with the facial axis, and which may betermed the 'cranio-facial angle, ' is extremely obtuse, amounting, in thecase of the Beaver, to at least 150 degrees.
But if a series of sections of mammalian skulls, intermediate betweena Rodent and a Man (Fig. 29), be examined, it will be found that in thehigher cr...ania the basicranial axis becomes shorter relatively to thecerebral length; that the 'olfactory angle' and 'occipital angle' becomemore obtuse; and that the 'cranio-facial angle' becomes more acute bythe bending down, as it were, of the facial axis upon the cranial axis. At the same time, the roof of the cranium becomes more and more arched, to allow of the increasing height of the cerebral hemispheres, which iseminently characteristic of man, as well as of that backward extension, beyond the cerebellum, which reaches its maximum in the South AmericaMonkeys.
