Parietal.—The parietal bonesare two, situated immediately l)e-neath the bone last described andabove the frontal bones. They areunited by the sagittal suture in themiddle line of the cranium, andserve to form the roof of that cavity. Temporal Bones. — These are four in number, two pairs, dis-tinguished from each other as thesquamous and the petrous tem-poral bones, the former having ashell-like structure, while the latterare of great density and hardness.The petrous temporal bones con-tain the organs of hearing.Squamous Temporal.—These are two flattened portions of bonesituated at, and forming the sides of, the brain cavity.
