## Summary

of the upper jaw are two in number, and are made with the callipers. The two measurements start from the same point behind; this point is the middle of the front edge, or margin, of the hole for the spinal cord (foramen magnum), shown in Fig. 1, E. From this common point, the upper or _basi-nasal measurement_ passes to the upper border of the nasal bones in the middle line of the face, and the lower or _basi-alveolar measurement_ passes to the extreme front edge of the upper jaw in the middle line, just above and between the upper incisor teeth.
