in the main, directly correlated. The correlation of the dimensions of 
the facial parts with stature is wholly indirect, and it is scarcely 
suitable or useful to compare the two measurements. The lack of 
direct connection between the facial height and stature is illustrated 
by the fact that in the series under consideration the percental ratio 
of the average stature to the average facial height amounts in those of 
shortest faces to 1581, while in those with the longest faces it is only 
1329. 
No definite correlation appears, further, between the height of the 
face and that of the forehead. 
Breadth of the Face 
(Diameter bizygomatic maximum.) 
The greatest or bizygomatic breadth of the Kharga men shows 
the very moderate average of 13.15 cm., and the rather small range 
of variation of 22 mm., or db 0.083 P er umt f tne average. It is 
considerably less variable than the chin-nasion height of the face 
(0.189 P er umt f tne mean) (fig. 9).

In general, in common with other facial breadths, the bizygomatic 
diameter possesses a high degree of correlation with the breadth of 
the head ; and the same fact is observed in the Kharga Egyptians. 
As seen in the next table, the average breadth of head correspond- 
ing to the narrowest faces is decidedly lower than that correspond- 
ing to those of greatest breadth. 
The proportional relation of the two dimensions follows what was 
observed in the case of the height of the face and length of the head 
the face measurement augments at a more rapid rate. The ratio
