The average orbital index in the female Munsee is higher than that 
in the males, as is generally the case, a fact directly due to the heavier 
development of the supraorbital region in the males. 
The nose in many of the individual Munsee, in conformity with the 
rest of the upper face, was rather short, but occasionally it was quite 
broad. The indexes, according to Broca’s classification, give four 
instances (25 per cent; 3 m., 1 f.) of leptorhinic, four cases (25 per 
cent; 2 _m., 2 f.) of mesorhinic, and eight cases (50 per cent; 3 m., 
5 f.) of moderately platyrhinic nasal aperture, the averages falling 
both in mesorhiny. The usual accompaniments of platyrhiny in the 
negro nose, however, are invariably absent, the inferior borders of the 
aperture being moderately sharp and the bridge showing generally a 
fair development. 
PROGNATHISM 
Measurements relating to prognathism include three basal diam- 
eters, namely, from basion to prosthion, the subnasal point and nasion; 
and the subnasal (alveolar) height, with the heights from prosthion and 
the subnasal point to nasion. These lines connected give us, in skulls 
in which the facial parts are well preserved, the angle of the face as a 
whole and also the alveolar angle, which it is important to measure 
separately. 
An extended and meritorious report on the naso-alveolo-basilar 
angle such as here described was published in 1909 and 1910 by Dr. 
P. Rivet,' who commenced its determination independently by the 
! [’ Anthropologie, XX, 1909, pp. 35 et seq., 175 et seq.; 1910, pp. 505, 637.
