The following- list, selected from Martin's (9) table, illustrates 

 the variations in this index in several races, the Jew having- the 

 lowest index and the Tibetan the highest physiognomic facial 

 index. Racially the Quichua occupies an intermediate position.

It is difficult to understand why anthropologists have chosen 

 to determine the morphologic facial index with the byzygomatic 

 diameter for the base whil^ for the determination of the physi- 

 ognomic index the face height is used as the base. It is the 

 opinion of the writer that it would be much better to use the 

 same method in both cases, using the bizygomatic breadth as 

 the base. 



The following- table indicates the relationship in the propor- 

 tions of the face and nose, viz., that a broad nose goes with a 

 broad face and a high nose with a high face in both male and 

 female Quichua.
