NATIVES OF KHARGA OASIS HRDLICKA

As the height of the nose stands in correlation with the height of 
the face, so the breadth of the organ is correlated with facial 
breadth. The correspondence of the two dimensions in the Kharga 
natives is, however, not quite so close as in the case of the height, 
and individual exceptions are much more frequent, due to the 
variability and to some extent independent development of the zygo- 
matic arches, which are included in the face measurement. The 
dimensions of the arches are influenced, it is well known, by the 
development of the temporal muscles. 
Nasal Index

\ height of nose 
The average nasal index of the Kharga men, /d,(5, is typically 
mesorhinian. It corresponds closely, as will be shown below, to 
that of the Valley Egyptians, the Bedjah Nubians and also some of 
the Berbers and other non-negroid African peoples. It is moderately 
higher than that of the pure Arabs and that of the whites, but is 
decidedly lower than that of the Soudan and other negroes.
