in the main, directly correlated. The correlation of the dimensions of 

 the facial parts with stature is wholly indirect, and it is scarcely 

 suitable or useful to compare the two measurements. The lack of 

 direct connection between the facial height and stature is illustrated 

 by the fact that in the series under consideration the percental ratio 

 of the average stature to the average facial height amounts in those of 

 shortest faces to 1581, while in those with the longest faces it is only 



1329- 



No definite correlation appears, further, between the height of the 

 face and that of the forehead. 



Breadth of the Face 



(Diameter bizygomatic maximum.) 

 The greatest or bizygomatic breadth of the Kharga men shows 

 the very moderate average of 13.15 cm., and the rather small range 

 of variation of 22 mm., or ± 0.083 P €r umt °f tne average. It is 

 considerably less variable than the chin-nasion height of the face 

 (± 0.189 per unit of the mean) (fig. 9).

In general, in common with other facial breadths, the bizygomatic 

 diameter possesses a high degree of correlation with the breadth of 

 the head ; and the same fact is observed in the Kharga Egyptians. 

 As seen in the next table, the average breadth of head correspond- 

 ing to the narrowest faces is decidedly lower than that correspond- 

 ing to those of greatest breadth. 



The proportional relation of the two dimensions follows what was 

 observed in the case of the height of the face and length of the head 

 — the face measurement augments at a more rapid rate. The ratio
