The middle of the hinder part of the under surface of the face thus forms the ventral margin of the hinder nostril, while on either side, the face receives the termination of the arch of the zygoma. It thence narrows as it proceeds forwards, forming a triangular bony plate, slightly truncated in front, and bordered by teeth. When the skull is looked at in front, we see on each side of its highest part, with its rounded outline (the forehead), the great

These are not completely surrounded by bone, but are bounded below and externally by the zygoma and a process (pj), and above by another process (pf) from the skull roof, and behind by the wall of the cranium. The part of the skull which juts out laterally to support the floor of the orbit is called the " malar prominence." Between the orbits is the bony pro- minence of the nose, beneath which is a small, somewhat heart- shaped aperture, the front bony nostrils or anterior nares. Beneath each orbit is the small bony cheek, and the skull is bounded below (the lower jaw or mandible being removed) by the alveolar border giving attachment to the teeth.
