The figure showing the Tessier classification is in a document located at
http://brasil.emb.nw.dc.us/NIB/hospvirt/cirplast/crfac_01.htm

   This document is written in the language of Brasil (Brazil).
   I don't know if it is Spanish or Portuguese or Brasilian, but a few 
   of the words I can  make out.  There is also some information on 
   Treacher Collins, Crouzon and Apert. I found the line drawing 
   interesting showing the different types of cleft.
