There are 34 with large or long, 17 

 with average, and five with short or 

 small noses. The large or long noses 

 are more innneroiis than the other two 

 grades added together. This was con- 

 firnicd by the independent jndgnicnt of 



riie correlation between the two 

 independent judgments is shown in the 

 scjuares above. There are 26 instances 

 in which the nose seemed large or long 

 to l)oth observers, twelve cases in 

 w'hich it seemed average to both, and 

 three cases in which it seemed small or 

 short to both. It will be noticed that 

 there are no cases in which a nose was 

 judged large or long by one, and small 

 or short by another. The scattering 

 instances of slight disagreement in 

 classification are shown in the figures 

 5, 8 and 2. To physical anthropolo- 

 gists accustomed to measuring shapes 

 of heads with accurate instrimients 

 (brachycephaly, etc.) the idea of meas- 

 uring the features of the face by gen- 

 eral impressions may seem unsatisfac- 

 tory; but it appears from the data 

 presented in this article that such a 

 method is capable of yielding orderly 

 and consistent results. If this method 

 can be used in phvsiognomy it means 

 that rapid progress can be made 

 towards at least first approximations 

 in evaluating the relationshijis that do 

 exist, as well as in demonstrating those 

 which do not. 



While it is easy to measure head-forms 

 among large luimbers of the general 

 population, it is not so easy, with 

 instruments, to measure the size of the 

 nose in |)roportion to the si/.e ol the
