NASAL INDEX 



The nasal index in the Eskimo is decidedly low. It averages. 



in general, approximately 43.8 in the males and 4^.3 in the females 



and presents much similarity all over the territory occupied by these 



people. Nevertheless, in general it is higher (nose broader) in the 



southwestern and St. Lawrence Island contingents than it is farther 



north. Because of their relatively low^er nasal height it is larger in 



the females than in the males, in the proportion of approximately 



103 : 100.

UPPER ALVEOLAR ARCH 



This index in the Eskimo is but moderate, owing largely to the 

 considerable breadth of the arch. It averages approximately 84-5 in 

 the males and 85 in the females, and the range of the means of the
