The influence of the facial height on the nose is again seen to 
be pronounced. It affects primarily the nasal height, secondarily 
the nasal index. The higher the face, the higher, as a rule, the nose 
and the lower the nasal index ; and vice versa. 
The breadth of the face, notwithstanding the correlation with it 
of the nasal breadth, evidently influences the facial index only sec- 
ondarily and very irregularly. This is unexpected, but so far as 
this particular ethnic group is concerned, the lack of correspondence, 
at least for the cases with the lowest and the highest nasal indices, 
is very plain. 
As to the relation of the nasal with the cephalic index in the 
Kharga men, the results are negative. It is seen in the two groups 
representing the extremes of the nasal index that not only the mean 
corresponding cephalic index but even the range of variation are 
quite alike. 
SECONDARY FACIAL MEASUREMENTS 
Diameter Frontal Minimum 
The smallest frontal breadth, determined in 100 of the Kharga 
men, averages 10.26 cm., and varies to the moderate extent of 18 
mm. or 0.087 per unit of the average. The distribution of the 
measurement is fairly regular. Its anthropological value is not great.

The correlations of the smallest frontal breadth with the greatest 
breadth of the head and that of the face are shown in the next 
table. A broader forehead is seen to correspond in general to a 
broader head as well as face ; but on the average the breadth of the 
forehead increases in this series at a more rapid rate than either of 
the dimensions with which it is compared.
