NATIVES OF KHARGA OASIS HRDLICKA

As the height of the nose stands in correlation with the height of 

 the face, so the breadth of the organ is correlated with facial 

 breadth. The correspondence of the two dimensions in the Kharga 

 natives is, however, not quite so close as in the case of the height, 

 and individual exceptions are much more frequent, due to the 

 variability and to some extent independent development of the zygo- 

 matic arches, which are included in the face measurement. The 

 dimensions of the arches are influenced, it is well known, by the 

 development of the temporal muscles. 



Nasal Index

\ height of nose 



The average nasal index of the Kharga men, 76.6, is typically 

 mesorhinian. It corresponds closely, as will be shown below, to 

 that of the Valley Egyptians, the Bedjah Nubians and also some of 

 the Berbers and other non-negroid African peoples. It is moderately 

 higher than that of the pure Arabs and that of the whites, but is 

 decidedly lower than that of the Soudan and other negroes.
