The total physiognomic facial index averages in the Kharga men 

 74.7, showing a tendency to leptoprosopy, which will be even more 

 clearly apparent in the anatomical index. The range of variation is 

 not excessive, extending over 16.3 points, or ± 0.109 per point of 

 the average. The distribution of the index presents two distinct 

 modes (fig. 10).

The Anatomical Facial Index <f. 1 — r^ r^ — —. 



\ diameter bizygomatic maximum/ 



The anatomic, or facial index proper, averages 86.3, which ap- 

 proaches the boundary between meso- and leptoprosopy. 1 Its range 

 of variation is unexpectedly larger than that of the physiognomic 

 index, extending over 30.7 points, or ±0.178 per unit of average, 

 but the distribution of the index shows that 93.3 per cent of the 

 cases are concentrated between the boundaries of 78 and 94. Only 

 two individuals occur with chamseprosopy ; in 119 the face is meso- 

 prosopic and in 29 leptoprosopic (fig. 10). 



1 Chamaeprosopic, below 74.9; mesoprosopic, 75-89.9; leptoprosopic 90 and 

 above.
