	MedFriendly.com: Mesocephalic
		Technically, a mesocephalic head is defined as having a skull that is able to hold between 1350 and 1450 milliliters and having a cephalic index between 75 and 80.
		The cephalic index is a rating scale that is used to measure the size of the head.
		The rating on the cephalic index is obtained by multiplying the maximum width of the head by 100 and dividing that number by the maximum length of the head.

	Cephalic disorder (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Cephalic disorders are congenital conditions that stem from damage to, or abnormal development of, the budding nervous system.
		Cephalic is a term that means "head" or "head end of the body." Congenital means the disorder is present at, and usually before, birth.
		This is a neural tube defect that occurs when the cephalic (head) end of the neural tube fails to close, usually between the 23rd and 26th days of pregnancy, resulting in the absence of a major portion of the brain, skull, and scalp.

		The index is obtained by dividing the maximum width of the cranium by its maximum length and multiplying by 100.
		A cephalic index of 80 or more is called brachycephalic or broad; a measurement between 75 and 80 is mesaticephalic; below 75 is considered dolicocephalic or long.
		The cranial index is the same ratio taken on a skull.

		But if I assume that his cephalic index is, exactly in the middle, or 75 numerically, then the photo in the middle represents Rumsfeld with a cephalic index of 75.
		Assuming such to be the case, the Rumsfeld on the left, has a cephalic index of 65, which would be called dolicocephalic, due to a slight narrowing of the face that I have accomplished using the Microsoft Paint Program; and the Rumsfeld on the right would be brachycephalic, with a cephalic index of 85.
		Likewise assuming the ape in the middle to have a cephalic index of 75, the ape on the left would be a dolichocephalic with cephalic index of 65 and the ape on the right would be a brachycephalic with a cephalic index of 85.

		The percent of the breadth of the skull to the length of the skull is the cephalic index.
		His results determined the cephalic index to be an inaccurate portrayal of the correlation between length and breadth of the skull, whereas the diameter of the face has a stronger correlation with the capacity of the skull.
		The cephalic index is represented by the breadth expressed in percents of the length of the skull.

	MedFriendly.com: Cephalic index
		The glabella is a flat triangular bone between two rough, raised bones on the forehead, near the eyebrows.
		The cephalic index is also known as the length-breadth index.
		Cephalic index comes from the Greek word "kephale" meaning "head," the Greek word "ikos" meaning "pertaining to," and the Latin word "index" meaning "that which points out." Put the words together and you get "pertaining to that which points out (the) head."

		For the front of the skull the criteria used in determining the peculiarities of a race are the height and breadth, the facial angle, and the form of the nostrils, orbital entrance, and palate.
		On this line Schwalbe traced the frontal angle (that between the tangent of the frontal bone at the glabella and the glabella-inion line), the bregman angle (bregma-glabella-inion); the lambda angle (lambda-inion-glabella); the opisthion angle (glabella-inion- opisthion; the opisthion is the posterior border of the occipital foramen).
		Schwalbe also determined the position of the bregma (distance of the base point of the bregma-verticals from the glabella) and the index of this position to the glabella-inion line, the glabella-cerebral index (ratio of the tendon of the glabella arch to the tendon of the arch of the frontal bone).

		The Epirotes, like their neighbors the Toscs, have an extremely high cephalic index mean, 88, and there seems to be a strongly brachycephalic zone running down the western slopes of the mountain core from Albania to the Gulf of Corinth, and perhaps beyond.
		Their heads, with a mean cephalic index of 82, are long for brachycephals (189 mm.), and of moderate breadth (154 mm.); the head height of 127 mm.
		The face height is 124.4 mm., the upper face height 75.6 mm.; the facial index, 87, is mesoprosopic, the upper facial index, 53, a little high in comparison with the foregoing.

		The cubic contents of the latter are laid down at only 1,306 cubic centimetres (= 79∙701 cubic inches), showing a brain of 1,156 grams (= 2 pounds 8∙78 ounces); and the likeness to the Engis skull has been generally remarked.
		Caverna delta Matta, fortunately had lower jaws: one was of the dolichocephalic division (cephalic index 68), very long, and flattened at the sides, a type found in Sardinia, but rarely on the adjacent continent: the other was of the marked brachycephalic or Ligurian type (cephalic index 84).
		To the latter people probably belonged the cannibals of the Palmaria Island in the Gulf of Spezia: their remains have been ably described (Grotta de' Colombi) by Professor Giovanni Capellini, a native of that place, who, at the early age of 34, has risen to be Rector of the venerable University of Bologna.

		Abbie (1958) calculated a significantly negative correlation between cephalic index and stature among male Australian aboriginals; similar data for intrapopulational variation of other peoples has been available since Boas' early study of 1899.
		But the correlation of mean cephalic index with mean stature for 50 different human groups is insignificantly positive (.211 for males,.132 for females, from Abbie, 1958).
		Differences between large and small peoples do not follow the ontogenetic trend of departure from juvenile proportions; the degree of brachycephaly of smaller peoples is retained or even increased among larger peoples.

	African Writers Index: Negritude; Articles
		Cesaire writes, "Negritude, not a cephalic index, or a plasma, or a soma, but measured by the compass of suffering." Both the term and the subsequent literary and cultural movement that developed equally emphasized the possible negation of that subjugation via concerted actions of racial affirmation, of which the Haitian Revolution (1791-1804) is the prototype.
		In succeeding decades, the term became a focus for ideological disputes among the fl intelligentsia of a Francophone world in the process of decolonization, and writers such as Leopold Sedar Senghor, Frantz Fanon, and the Anglophone Wole Soyinka each weighed in with their own reformulations and critiques of Cesaire's concept.
		Finally, Cesaire's historicizing phenomenological use of the term remains largely unexplored, implying for the fl subject a developmental model of enlightenment that sustains and advances the transformational project of fl liberation, pointing beyond the circularity of identity politics toward the elusive instantiation of a fully realized utopian freedom.

	Notes and Asides - Letter to the Editor National Review - Find Articles
		The cephalic index, which defines long-headedness (dolichocephaly) and round- headedness (brachycephaly), is based on the ratio of the transverse (across) diameter of the skull to the antero-posterior (front-to-back) diameter.
		I do remember John Carradine and Leslie Howard, and they did indeed have long heads in the vertical direction, and Mickey Rooney didn't, but I wouldn't even make a guess as to what their cephalic indexes were.
		So do we all; so does everybody whose cephalic index is higher than 0.
