A comparison with the other facial measurements shows that, as 
in other ethnic groups, so in the Kharga Egyptians the nasal height 
bears a close correlation with the height of the face. This condi- 
tion is brought out very plainly in the following table. The nasal 
height does not, however, rise exactly proportionately with the 
facial height, but shows a slight retardation ; this indicates an in- 
crease, with advancing height of face, not only in the absolute, but 
also in the relative height of the subnasal region.

Nasal Breadth 
The breadth of the nose averages in the Kharga men 3.73 cm., and 
the range of variation is larger than that of the nasal height, extend- 
ing over 1 6 mm., or 0.216 per unit of the average. Eighty-nine 
per cent of the cases fall between 3.4 and 4.15 cm.
