1878 W. H. Flower in Notices Proc. Royal Inst. Great Brit. 8 617 It is convenient to group them [sc. orbital indices] into three—the high (megaseme), intermediate (mesoseme), and low (microseme).

1886 Jrnl. Anthropol. Inst. 16 151 The average Fijian being platyrhine and mesoseme.

1896 Nat. Sci. Sept. 154 The skull is mesoseme (87·8).

1913 Cunningham's Text-bk. Anat. (ed. 4) 287 The form of the orbital aperture is referred to as..Mesoseme, if the index be between 89 and 84.

1927 Jrnl. Royal Anthropol. Inst. 57 97 The mean of the two indices is 86·97, and thus the Chancelade man belongs to the mesoseme group along with Eskimo (87·8), IndoChinese (88·9), Javanese (88·3), etc.
