1 In 26 individuals of the series of 150 there was more or less pronounced 

 frontal loss of hair and in one another defect prevented the measurement. 



2 Probable error = 0.035 I standard deviation, <r, = 0.6366, ± 0.025 ; coef- 

 ficient of variability, C, =5.634, ±0.219. 



The Forehead 



The height of the forehead from nasion to the hair line x averages 

 6.2 cm., which is noticeably less than in most groups of male whites 

 and also other races, exclusive of the Indian and most of the Negro. 

 The range of variation is very large, amounting to 3.5 cm., or 

 =h 0.282 for each unit of the average ; but the mass of the cases is 

 comprised within the limits of from 5.6 to 7.0 cm. (fig. 7).

1 From point corresponding to nasion in the skull, to the hair line. 



2 In 26 of the 150 individuals examined there existed more or less pro- 

 nounced frontal baldness, which made the measurement of height of the 

 forehead uncertain. 



s Probable error = ± 0.036 ; standard deviation, <r, = 0.5983, ± 0.026 ; co- 

 efficient of variability, C, = 9.650, ± 0.413. 



1 Where the hair extended downward in a V-shaped manner in the median 

 line, the measurement was taken to the middle of a curved line, moderately 

 convex downward, connecting the lateral parts of the hair boundary; but 

 such cases were rare.
