PART III.

SKELETON LIMITS.

Head. PI. 21.

1. The head and face an egg-shaped, oval, front view.

2. A, the head ; B, the face.

3. A, the head an egg-shaped, oval (drawn horizontally) profile; B, the face one-half of a smaller oval,

leaning slightly forward, drawn under the small end of the upper oval.

A, B, C, D, E, in Fig. 4, the same as parts numbered 1 to 5 in Figs. 1 and 2, the same and other letters as figured in 1 and 2 also.

In Fig. 3, the opening of the ear, X, or meeting of the inner line of the lower oval with the under line of the upper, is opposite the bridge of the nose.

Let two marks for the eyes, as in Fig. 4, take the place, in subsequent drawings, of the line across the face marking the under limit of the cerebral oval (see Fig. 2). Notice that the upper oval projects beyond the under from X to A, Fig. 3; leaving room for the neck behind the jaw, as in Fig. 5, X, A.

Let the teacher observe all the rules of the previous parts and illustrations, especially the fundamental ones of length and width; to which add the following: that the back will bend opposite the open space (T, Fig. 1; 8, Fig. 2) between the pelvis and ribs; that, in stooping or sitting, the pelvis and ribs must be pressed together as in the foUowing figures (8, PL 22; 9, PL 23): —

A, the ribs; B, the pelvis (Figs. 8, 9) pressed together, as is natural in these positions; the open space, 8, between the ribs and pelvis (see Figs. 1, 2, PL 21, Div. 8), being very much lessed by the flexion.

Observe that the back in these Figs. 8, 9, exhibits three planes: —

1. The shoulder;

2. The back;

3. The loins;
