PARTS OF A SKULL 307 Parts of a Skull A skull is composed of a number of bones. The size and shape of thesebones vary more or less with different species, and they therefore form goodcharacters for distinguishing species and groups. The sutures indicating thelines of junction between adjacent bones anchylose m.ore or less in aged ani-mals and become obscure. Below are the names of the principal! parts of askull, with figures corresponding to those on the plate opposite. Skulls Nos. 1738 and 2087 are Southern California Skunks.
