(as compared with whites) in 86, and pronounced in 2 per cent of 

 the cases. 



The nose is generally not of great size or prominence. The bridge 

 was found straight in 42, slightly convex in 41, convex in 3, con- 

 cavo-convex in 10 and slightly concave in 4 per cent. It may be said 

 then to be in general straight or slightly convex. 



The nasal septum is prevalently horizontal or somewhat inclined 

 downward. It was horizontal in 62 per cent, slightly inclined down- 

 wards (distal end lower than proximal) in 18, very perceptibly 

 inclined downward in 9, and slightly inclined upward (distal part 

 higher than proximal with head in natural position) in 11 per cent 

 of the cases. 



The alse of the nose are seldom broad and in the unmixed never 

 show the characteristics of those in the negro. 



The lips were found to be of about medium size, or not exceeding 

 the ordinary dimensions of lips in white males, in 83 per cent of the 

 men, while they were perceptibly to moderately thicker in 17 per cent. 



Prognathism on the whole is somewhat more marked than in the 

 average Europeans, but in a pronounced form is rare ; the conditions 

 in this respect were about as the mean in white men, or but slightly 

 more marked, in 78 per cent, moderately more pronounced in 19 per 

 cent, and decidedly more pronounced than in average whites in 3 

 per cent of those examined. 



The chin was in 85 per cent of the cases of medium proportions 

 and form, compared with the whites ; in 13 per cent of the individ- 

 uals it was more or less angular or " square," in 1 man it was un- 

 usually pointed and in 1 unusually long. The angles of the lower 

 jaw showed in 84 per cent of the individuals medium development, 

 in 14 per cent they were above average in size or prominence, and 

 in 2 per cent they were perceptibly below such average. 



The malar regions showed about medium size (as compared with 

 whites) and moderate prominence in 78 per cent, were sub-medium 

 in both these features in 4 per cent and above medium in 18 per cent 

 of the cases. 



Among the 150 men who were specially examined, there was no 

 one with any marked asymmetry of face or with any anomalies of 

 importance. 



The neck is usually of medium development and quite cylindrical ; 

 in the younger men it is frequently rather high.
