Abstract
In this chapter I shall demonstrate the extent to which one particular field of applied shape measurement, conventional cephalometrics, is founded upon assumptions and procedures with unfortunate analytic properties. A critique of certain modern developments will be found in chapter iv, and of prediction techniques in particular in chapter viii. There is a collective criticism of specifically radiological cephalometrics in Salzmann (1961).
