Abstract
The triangular non-perforated areas lying on each side of the glabella and bounded in front and laterally by the fringe are usually described as the cheeks and distinct from the fringe, as if they alone corresponded to the fixed cheeks of the Opisthoparia and Proparia, or even included also the free cheeks of these orders. But if the facial suture is marginal, and if the lower plate of the fringe is considered to represent the free-cheeks, as Beecher maintained, the upper plate of the fringe must be regarded as merely a modified marginal portion of the fixed cheeks, so that the triangular areas within the fringe would only constitute the inner part of the fixed cheeks.
