By means of a technique for measuring surfaces by direct reading, six angular sectors have been studied (3 for the face and 3 for the skull) at various ontogenic periods of Man, common chimpanzee and dwarf chimpanzee. The growth curves have been drawn for absolute values and for relative values. They show a certain evolutive parallelism between the frontal bone and the parietal bone, and between the face and the mandible, with a special fate for the occipital bone.
