The anatomical facial index is appreciably lower in the members of the Academy, and 

 especially in those of European birth or more recent derivation, than it is in the old Americans at 

 large ; but if the effects of old age are discounted the indices in the three groups are very similar. 

 This, it should be borne in mind, expresses only the relation of the two diameters that are involved 

 and they should be considered also by themselves. 



On the whole the principal facial dimensions here considered and also their relations, in the 

 members of the Academy, have shown but slight to very moderate differences from those of the 

 more cultured old Americans at large. To facilitate a clearer view of the conditions the main 

 facial findings will be repeated in the next table.
