This condition is expressed not only by the averages, but is also 

 illustrated by the fact that in the series of the lowest heads there 

 are no instances of a cephalic module higher than 15.2, while in the 

 series of highest heads there is no module lower than 15.3. 



It is further found, however, that in the case of the lowest heads, 

 the average height of the head corresponds to the average cephalic 

 module of the same heads only in the proportion of 84.1 to 100, 

 while in the case of the highest heads that proportion is as 87.6 to 

 100. This indicates that the height of the head increases faster than 

 the size of the head as a whole, and hence to some extent indepen- 

 dently of the same. 



As to the relation of the height of the head to the length and 

 breadth of the same, the following data show conclusively that the 

 highest heads are also as a rule absolutely longer and broader than 

 the lowest ones. Under normal conditions, therefore, an exceptional 

 cephalic height is largely a function of the size of the head (which, 

 in turn, as brought out before, stands in close connection with the 

 stature) .
