B. Postorbital region less wide, 10"9-10"5andll"9- 



11-5 % ; interorbital width less, 34-7-33% P. /p. delamcrei. 



0. Postorbital region of medium length and width 

 13 "4 and 13'1%; interorbital width less than 

 in any other race, 30% P. k. africanus. 



D. Postorbital region much the same as in last, 



14 and 14 % ; interorbital width considerably 



greater, 38-8 % P. sc. massaicns. 



E. Postorbital region of medium length but narrow, 



13-7 and 11%; interorbital width relatively 



small, 32-3% P. x. sundevalli. 



F. Postorbital region very long and very narrow,
