 I'tjicsvliivhtf there are many sei)arat(( papers by Prof. Virehow (see Table i,.\xix). From tliest- 

 wo have prei>are(l, with the exiji'iKlitiire of considerable time ami care, Table No. LXXX, and from 

 this we (|iiott' a lew items tor comparison in tlie facial iii<lices. 



Wc have compiled tiic lollowintf eifj^ht tables of comparison, which ap|>car in this section, lar},'ely 

 from oui- own very insullicient special series of Htl before referred to (Tabic lxxxi). Tal)h's l>, 

 1), F, II, show the relations of this Saladoan collection to vaiious races of the world, and Tables 

 C, E, Ci, I, show its relations to other Indian tribes. Where anything is added from Tabic No. 

 LXXX the source is indicated in a footnote. 



The facial index of Virchow, which is the product of the naso-mcntal luii^rhf, nuiltii)licd by 

 KM) and divided by tiie facial width of Virchow — aline uniting the inferior extremities of the 

 malo-maxillary sut arcs — has been comi)Uted in 19 skulls. These indices are shown in Tables .vxvi, 

 XXVII, where it ai)peais that they vary Irom 10J.85 to 131.25, and that their aveiage is 117.04. l'"or 

 this index, according to the ''agreement," the dividing point between the two classes of broad 

 faces and narrow faces is au index of 1)0, all above this being narrow and all below, l)road. These 

 skulls are therefore decidedly narrow faced, but so it would appear are all races as represented in 

 our series of 101, as showu in the following tables:

Wc liave beeu able to compute the upper facial index of Virchow in 34 skulls. This index is 

 the product of the uaso alvecdar height multiplied by 100 and divided by the facial width of 

 Virchow. In the tables of this lucasuremeut (Tables xxviii, xxix) we liud that the minimum is 

 62.22, the maximum 70.."»9, and the average G!).82. For this index oO constitutes the point of 

 division between broad and narrow upper faces. The skulls iu this group, tht^n, are all distinctly 

 of tiie latter class. In tlic tallies below it will be seen that there are no averages below 50. In 

 other words, there are no broad upper faces in our special series of 101.
