The next table gives the percentage relations of the basion-nasion 

 diameter to the mean diameter of the skull. The correlation of the 

 two is even closer than in the case of the skull length, and the 

 grouping, while in the main alike, seems in general even more in 

 harmony with that in previous comparisons. The St. Lawrence 

 Island females are very exceptional, as was also apparent in other 

 connections. The unusual smallness of their skull (compare section 

 on Cranial module) is evidently due to a poor development of its 

 posterior half.
