According to the international division of the Cephalic Index, 12'1 per 

 cent, of the males are dolichocephalic (70-74-9), 45-5 percent, are mesati- 

 cephalic (75-79-9), 33-3 per cent, are brachjcephalic (80-85-9), and 

 9-1 are hyperbrachycephalic (85-89-9). Of the females 2-2 per cent, 

 are hyperdolichocephalic ; 16-6 are dolichocephalic, 46 7 mesaticephalic, 

 ;)-2-3 are brachjcephalic, and 22 hyperbrachycephalic. It may be 

 added that in the greatest number of male skulls the cephalic ranges from 

 76 to 81, while in the females the gi-eatest number ranges from 74 to 81. 

 Arranged in tabular form, the above results give the following percent-

The Pace. 



The Facial Index adopted is that of Kollmann, deduced from the 

 length of the face from the nasion (or root of the nose) to the chin, 

 compared with the bizygomatic or maximum width ot the face ; or 



Nasio-mental^ length X 100 E^pg^ience gained in the laboratories last 



Bizygomatic width 

 year, as well as at Bath, shows that the measurements required for 

 this index can be made with a much greater degree of accuracy than 

 the face-line measured from the chin to the ' point snr-ciliairo ' adopted 

 by French anthropologists. The number of facial measurements obtained 

 waa comparatively few. Only those made by Mr. Bloxam and Dr. Garson 

 have been u.sed in the following series of results. The average facial index 

 of ten men is 86'9, and of twenty-one women 85-7. Under the F'rankfort 

 agreement, skulls in which the index is 90 and under are termed cliamna- 

 prosopic, while those above 90 are described as leptoprosopic. As the mea- 

 surements of length and breadth of the face in the living do not probably 

 differ much proportionally to those in the skull, the divisions of the 

 index in the latter may bo adopted for the formei. In the case of a high 

 index the face is long in proportion to its breadth, while the reverse holds 

 good when the index is low. The average of males and females falls in 

 the charaseprosopic group, or, as they are better termed, the lirachyprosopic
