The local races, according to a scheme by Lonnberg, are 

 distinguished as follows : 



A. Postorbital portion of skull very short and wide, 



its length and breadth percentages to skull- 

 length being 10 and 13 ; interorbital width 

 large, 36'5% B. x. xtliiopicm. 



B. Postorbital region less wide, 10 9-10 5 and 11 9- 



11-6 % ; interorbital width less, 34 "7-33% P. *. delamerei. 



c. Postorbital region of medium length and width 

 13-4 and 13-1%; interorbital width less than 

 in any other race, 30% P. ss. africanus. 



D. Postorbital region much the same as in last, 



14 and 14%; interorbital width considerably 



greater, 38'8 % P. x. massaicus. 



E. Postorbital region of medium length but narrow, 



18'7 and 11%; interorbital width relatively 



small, 32-3% P. x. sundevalli. 



F. Postorbital region very long and very narrow, 



15-4 and 6-3 % ; interorbital width as in last,
