* Arranged on the basis of the Palatal Index. 
** Arranged on the basis of the height at symphysis. 
+ The vertical height in median line. 
{ Measured with the compas glissiére in such manner that the center of the second molar or of its aveolus 
corresponds to the middle of the rod of the compass between the two branches which are applied to the 
ramus. 
§ Measured with Broca’s goniometer. 
4] Moderate. 
FORAMEN MAGNUM 
In respect to the foramen magnum, there is so much irregularity 
and so little special significance in the ratio between the two main 
diameters, length and breadth, that the writer prefers to use the 
1+b a 
mean measurement, (+, -), which stands in some relation to stature 
and probably to muscular development, and which may have more 
than passing interest in the study of racial and other groups. The 
average in the Munsee is, as usual, perceptibly higher in the males
