FACIAL ANGLES 



The method of taking the facial angles has been explained. One 

 measures the total facial protrusion, the other measures that of the 

 alveolar portion, which is somewhat independent. Both these angles 

 in the Eskimo show but a moderate protrusion of the face — more 

 than in the whites, about as much as in the Indian, decidely less than 

 in the Negro, the Melanesian, and the Australian. Direct racial 

 comparisons, regrettably, are not yet possible. 



The total angle, it is seen, is much alike in the two sexes, but the 

 alveolar slant is appreciably greater in the females (narrower angle) 

 of nearly all the groups.

THE ORBITS 



The orbits of the Eskimo skulls are absolutely large. The orbital 

 index is fairly high, but not extraordinary. The index in the females, 

 as usual, is somewhat liigher than that in males (approximately as 

 101.5 is to 100). The variation according to locality is very moderate.
