NATIVES OF KHARGA OASIS HRDLICKA

The above determinations, however imperfect, seem to indicate 

 that the head of the Kharga native is even slightly smaller than that 

 of the Valley Egyptian ; the differences in this regard between the 

 Oasis and Valley Egyptians are, however, as also indicated by 

 Chantre's data, not very material. 



Another point especially inquired into in connection with the 

 cephalic module was its relation to the form of the head, as expressed 

 by cephalic index. The interesting results are given below. They 

 show that in this particular ethnic group there is, on the average, a 

 perceptible difference in the size of the head between those of the 

 lowest and those of the highest cephalic index and that the difference 

 is in favor of the latter. This agrees well with what was indicated by 

 some of the foregoing observations brought out in this paper.
