with the exception of the Jews, who have a still higher percentage. 

 Bukharan Tajiks, like Mountain Tajiks, have high nasal bridges. 

 Ferghana Tajiks approach the Uzbeks. Kirghiz, Kara-Kalpaks, 

 Mangyt Uzbeks, and Chaudyr Turkomans have greater percentages 

 of individuals with low nasal bridges and smaller percentages of

individuals with higher nasal bridges. This observation is also valid 

 for differentiating the anthropological types of Central Asia. Breadth 

 of nasal bridge is usually medium (51.51 percent) ; small breadth is 

 found in 34.85 percent, and great in 13.64 percent of cases. Broad- 

 bridged individuals were more common in Karatcgin than in Dar\'az, 

 Comparing the Tajik's nasal bridge with that of other peoples, we 

 see that they stand in this respect nearest to Jews. Among Uzbeks 

 and Arabs there are few individuals with narrow bridges.
