CEREBRAL SKULL AND FACIAL SKULL A CONTRIBUTION TO THE KNOWLEDGE OF SKULL-STRUCTURE BY C. J. VAN DER KLAAUW. In a treatise on the skull which appeared in a Dutch handbook of the comparative anatomy of Vertebrata, I extended the distinction between cerebral and facial skull usual in human anatomy to lower Vertebrata (rg4i, pp. 245--24g). In this article it is my intention to discuss and justify this extension. The skull consists, as we shall see, of a number of comparati- vely separate functional parts, differing in size, position and grouping. This has made it possible for a facial skull and cerebral skull to be distinguished at a superficial examination. Orbita, nasal cavity and upper-jaw will be regarded as the essentials among the most striking parts of the facial skull. If they form a coherent and separable complex in front of the cerebral skull, we may speak of a facial skull. According to this formulation there can be no question of a distinction between cerebral and facial skull in the primitive platybasic skull. Here we have one single, wide cerebral cavity, containing the olfactory part of the brains as well, and continuing very far to the rostral part of
