The cephalic index is the ratio of the greatest skiiU width divided by 

 the greatest skull length. As to the boundaries of the terms applied 

 to these ratios, most unhap[)i]y the doctors disagree. Dr. Topinard's 

 table is as follows : 



Doliehocepludy (74 per cent, and less) : , 



•04 and less. IJltradolichocephaly 

 •05— -(59. Dolichocephaly. 

 •70— -749. Siibdolichocephaly. 

 MesaMcephaly{75 to 79.9 per cent.): 



•75, -76. Sub .

It will readily be seen that the cranial index in its three branches 

 a])plies to each of the three divisions of humanity [subspecies?], the
