Relation of Facial and Nasal Height in those of the Shortest 

 AND Longest Faces. 



When we compare the face form as indicated by the facial 

 index with the head form as indicated by the cephahc index, we 

 find that the high face is associated with the relatively long head 

 and the short face with the relatively broad head. This relation- 

 ship is illustrated in the following tables, both when the face 

 form is compared with the head form and vice versa in both 

 sexes of the Quichua. 



The accompanying table (p. 36) indicates that a broad face in 

 both sexes of the Quichua is generally associated with a broad 

 head, a larger cephalic index and module. There seems to be no 

 relation to age. 



The accompanying tables (pp. 2i7' 3^) seem to show the truth 

 of the following statements for both sexes of the Quichua: a 

 short face is associated with a higher forehead, and a high face 

 with a lower forehead ; a short face goes with a shorter stature, 

 and a high face with a greater stature ; a short face is found with 

 a shorter head than a high face. There is little or no relation 

 between the height of the face and the height of the head but a 

 short face is associated with a relatively broad head and with a 

 smaller head as indicated by the cephalic module.
