Description:

Examination was made of the decrease of the postorbital contriction with age in 68 skulls of wild mink, Mustela vison Schreber, 1777, from Southern Norway. The decrease in the mean of the measurement from juvenile to adult age was highly significant (P<0.01) in both sexes. The decrease was described to resorption of bone in the postorbital area to give way for increase of the anterior part of the temporal muscle with age and thus strengthen the force in the fully opened jaw.
