An inquiry as to the respective values of the two nasal measure- 

 ments shows, as will be seen in the next table, in the thirteen cases 

 with the lowest indices (av. 65.), that the height exceeds the average 

 nasal height of the entire series in the proportion of 108 to 100, while 

 the breadth stands to the general average nasal breadth in the Kharga 

 men as 90 to 100; it is evident, therefore, that in leptorhiny, at 

 Kharga, the nose is both higher and narrower, differing in both 

 dimensions nearly alike from the general average. And an inquiry 

 into the twelve cases with the highest nasal indices shows similar 

 conditions, in a reversed way — the nose is both lower and broader 

 and that by nearly the same proportion (height = 91.8, breadth 

 = 109. 1 per cent) as the general averages of these dimensions.

The relations of the two nose measurements and of the nasal index 

 to age, can not be discussed to best advantage with a series from 

 which all senile subjects were excluded; nevertheless certain facts 

 of interest are apparent. The following table gives the nasal dimen- 

 sions and index in 21 youngest and 25 oldest men of the series. It is
