APPENDIX 337 



Head-form : The cephalic indices of the three groups given 

 on Table A range from dolichocephaly to brachycephaly, and 

 it is interesting to note that the Madangs, with a median of 78.1, 

 have distinctly the narrowest heads, intermediate are the Long 

 Dallo men, median 80.5, while the Apoh men, with a median of 

 84, have distinctly the broadest heads. The head in all is 

 markedly hypsicephalic both as regards the length - height and 

 the breadth-height indices. The shape is described as round in 8 

 men, oval in 2, ovoid in 3, square in i, pyriform in 3, and long in 

 2. The 4 Long Sinong women are distinctly brachycephalic, the 

 mean being 83.2, but the average is 85.1, owing to one having an 

 index 93.8. They also are very hypsicephalic. 



Face-. Six men are recorded as having pentagonal faces, 3 

 broad and 3 long ; alveolar prognathism is noted in 2. All are 

 chamaeprosopic as regards the total facial index, and all except i 

 Madang and 2 Long Dallo men as regards the upper facial index. 

 The forehead is upright in 10 men, i is noted as bulging and i as 

 sloping. The cheek-bones are moderate in 12 men, prominent in 

 6 men (i very marked) and 2 women, and broad in i of each 

 sex. The lips are, as a rule, moderately full, but are thin in 3. 

 The chin is fairly well developed. Nose : One man is leptorhine, 6 

 are mesorhine, 13 platyrhine, 6 hyper-platyrhine. The 2 Long Dallo 

 women are mesorhine, the 4 Long Sinong women are strongly 

 platyrhine. The profile is straight in 14 men, a few others varied. 

 The base is slightly reflected in 14 men, straight in 2 ; the alae are 

 broad in 5 men, small in 2, and the septum is disclosed in 2 ; the 

 nostrils are wide in 8 men, elongated in i. Eyes : The aperture is 

 moderate in 10 men, wide in 6 men and 3 women, narrow in 7 

 men ; it is straight with no fold in 6 men and i woman and with 

 a slight fold in 5 men, slightly oblique with no fold in 5, and 

 with a slight fold in 4 and 2 women, oblique with no fold in i. 

 The colour is light in 2 men and i woman, medium in 15 

 men and i woman, and dark in 7 men and 4 women. Ears : 

 Data were obtained only for the Madang. Type European 

 in 3 (2 doubtful), Negroid i (?); angle prominent 2 (?); lobule 

 distended in 4, of medium size in i (?) ; descending helix infolded 

 less than 2 mm. in 2, rather more in i ; tragus 3-5 mm. in 5, 

 being double in i, 5-7 mm. in i ; anti-tragus absent in i, trace in 

 I, under 3 mm. in 3, 3 - 5 mm. in i ; anti - helix below level of 

 helix in 2, about at the same level in i. 



Hair: It is straight in 7 men and i woman, wavy in 14 men 

 and 2 women, curly in 2 men. The colour is dark brown in 3 

 men, rusty black in 15 men and 5 women, black in 5 men and i 

 woman. It is usually long and moderately abundant on the 

 head ; face hair was observed in 2 men, and a small amount on 

 the body in 5. 



Sh'n : The average skin colour is various shades of cinamon ;
