It may be recalled in this connection that, as indicated under "Observations," the length 

 of the nose from its root to its tip shows in general a much more decided augmentation than the 

 basal length or "height" of the organ that has just been considered. The gist of the matter is 

 that growth of the nose with age is essentially growth in the soft parts of the organ. 



NOSE BREADTH 



This is the maximum external breadth of the nasal alae. It too is a measurement of con- 

 siderable racial interest; and within the same group it shows, at least up to a certain period of 

 life, rather marked increase with age, more so than the basal length of the nose. It gave the 

 following values in the academicians:
