[215]Frigerio’s measurements of the auriculo-temporal angle were taken with a specially devised instrument from the pinna to the mastoid. Buchanan’s were apparently taken from the anterior edge of the mastoid to the helix, giving the angle of the external face of the whole ear.

[227]Achondroplasia, or imperfect development of cartilage with resulting imperfections in the extremities, has come under my observation. The first case, a man of 38, had a face arrested in development and the appearance of a ten-year-old boy. His jaws were small with a protrusion of the lower. His arms were absent. The hands were full sized and attached to the shoulder. Another case was that of a member of the Spanish nobility in whom degeneracy was stamped on the entire body. He was short in body and had an enormous head. The jaws were undeveloped with a V-shaped arch. His left hand was located near the shoulder.

[251]In the foregoing, and to some extent in the following, chapters it has been necessary to touch on many complicated questions of brain function, more or less outside the main topic of this book. The aspect of such questions is, however, constantly changing in the light of new investigations, and our knowledge is still far from certain in many most important respects. For excellent statements of the prevailing views of brain localisation, brought up to date, the reader may be referred to the special sections of the latest editions of Foster’sPhysiology, or of Waller’sPhysiology; Donaldson’sGrowth of the Brainmay also be consulted.
