NATIVES OF KHARGA OASIS HRDLICKA

The above determinations, however imperfect, seem to indicate 
that the head of the Kharga native is even slightly smaller than that 
of the Valley Egyptian ; the differences in this regard between the 
Oasis and Valley Egyptians are, however, as also indicated by 
Chantre's data, not very material. 
Another point especially inquired into in connection with the 
cephalic module was its relation to the form of the head, as expressed 
by cephalic index. The interesting results are given below. They 
show that in this particular ethnic group there is, on the average, a 
perceptible difference in the size of the head between those of the 
lowest and those of the highest cephalic index and that the difference 
is in favor of the latter. This agrees well with what was indicated by 
some of the foregoing observations brought out in this paper.
