When comparisons are made between the bizygomatic diameter of different subjects, or when measurements made on the living are compared with those on skulls, the thickness of the soft tissue overlying the zygions is of considerable importance. The thickness of these tissues over each of 208 zygions of cadavera has been studied and has been found to differ considerably. The range was from 1.4 mm to 21.4 mm, and the thickness was related to the general body‐build — fat, medium or thin. Statements in the literature assume that 6 mm is a suitable estimate of the total thickness of the soft tissues over both zygions. However the present findings indicate that these assumptions are not justified, for in 92% of these specimens the thickness exceeded 6 mm
