An inquiry as to the respective values of the two nasal measure- 
ments shows, as will be seen in the next table, in the thirteen cases 
with the lowest indices (av. 65.), that the height exceeds the average 
nasal height of the entire series in the proportion of 108 to 100, while 
the breadth stands to the general average nasal breadth in the Kharga 
men as 90 to 100; it is evident, therefore, that in leptorhiny, at 
Kharga, the nose is both higher and narrower, differing in both 
dimensions nearly alike from the general average. And an inquiry 
into the twelve cases with the highest nasal indices shows similar 
conditions, in a reversed way the nose is both lower and broader 
and that by nearly the same proportion (height = 91.8, breadth 
= 109.1 per cent) as the general averages of these dimensions.

The relations of the two nose measurements and of the nasal index 
to age, can not be discussed to best advantage with a series from 
which all senile subjects were excluded; nevertheless certain facts 
of interest are apparent. The following table gives the nasal dimen- 
sions and index in 21 youngest and 25 oldest men of the series. It is
