$ 20. GERMAN PROFILE ANGLE. 



In 44 skulls we have determined the German profile angle or Profil trinkel of the Frankfurt 

 agreement. We place these angles on record (tables xxxrv, xxxv) more for the advantage <>t' 

 future students than for any benefit they may be to us in the comparative study of this collect ion, 

 since among the cranionietrical literature to which we have access we find few data on this point. 

 The following table wehave compiled from works of Wieger* and Tarenetzky,t including in its proper 

 order the average of the Salado series : 



TABLE J. German profile angle in various races. 



These figures are somewhat contradictory to those of the gnathic index of Flower, which is 

 designed to express the same character, still the relation of the Saladoaus to the Europeans is much 

 the same according to both systems of measurement. 



The following is a table of profile angles taken from skulls of various races and tribes in the 

 Army Medical Museum and arranged in order from the highest to the lowest. 



TABLE K. German profile angle among various races, Army Medical Museum. 



The "North American Indians" grouped under one head in the above table are divided into 

 their separate tribes in the following table, the Saladoans being included in their proper order.
