A comparison with the other facial measurements shows that, as 

 in other ethnic groups, so in the Kharga Egyptians the nasal height 

 bears a close correlation with the height of the face. This condi- 

 tion is brought out very plainly in the following table. The nasal 

 height does not, however, rise exactly proportionately with the 

 facial height, but shows a slight retardation ; this indicates an in- 

 crease, with advancing height of face, not only in the absolute, but 

 also in the relative height of the subnasal region.

Nasal Breadth 



The breadth of the nose averages in the Kharga men 3.73 cm., and 

 the range of variation is larger than that of the nasal height, extend- 

 ing over 16 mm., or ± 0.216 per unit of the average. Eighty-nine 

 per cent of the cases fall between 3.4 and 4.15 cm.
