Anatomists have given the name Lambdoidal Suture, Sutura Lambdoidalis seu lambdoides seu lambboidea seu Prorae, to the suture, formed by the parietal bones and the occipital, because it resembles the letter A, lambda, of the Greeks. It is the Occipito-parietal suture, Suture occipitale, (Ch.) In this suture, the ossa Wormiana are most frequently met with; and the denticulations are most distinctly marked.
