olume of the brain, are questions into which we do notpropose to enter; but from the foregoing considerations we are in agree-ment with Gayot that the more voluminous the brain the larger is the spinal cord and the nerves that proceed from it, and that a large forehead denotes a high degree of intelligence and a good nervous sys- tern . From the forehead downward the face should still maintain ample width, to give room to the nasal pas-sages wliich form its front and lower aspect. From the eyes, the la-teral boundary lines in a well-formed face willgradually narrow in towards the angles of the mouth and then widenout in conformity with the nostrils, which should Ije open and capacious.Moreover, the skin encircling the nostrils should l)e thin and pliable, andthe lips fine and mobile. The bony lines and prominences of the faceshould be clearly defined, and not, as seen in the low-bred and phlegmaticsubjects, hidden by undue thickness and Heshiness of the skin and suli-cutaneous tissue.
