of a few individuals ; short point of the nose, slight elevation of 

 nose, long upper lip, and rather thick mouth. The Kwakiutl type 

 shows a flat forehead, which is largely due to artificial deformation ; a 

 decidedly convex nose with short point, highly elevated over the face, and a 

 less protruding mouth. It is very remarkable that the characteristic 

 features of this type are so strongly marked in the female that the 

 diflerences between the northern type and this type are more strongly 

 noticed in women than in men. The Thompson River type has a very 

 prominent, convex nose, with long point. The nose has a great elevation 

 over the face. 



We give the cross-sections of the face, laid through the tragus and 

 lower rim of orbits for the various types. In order to make the 

 differences clearer we have drawn a middle or composite outline for each 

 type, which show clearly the considerable breadth of face prevailing on 

 the coast and the flatness of the nose of the northern type.

The following table contains a number of repeated measurements, the 

 first measurement having been taken in September 1894, the second in 

 June 1897, the interval being two years and nine months. It will be 

 seen that on the whole the measurements show a close agreement ; but it 

 appears that the error of observation for the measurements of the body, 

 except for stature and finger-reach, is very considerable. The nasal index 

 is also very unsatisfactory on account of the smallness of the measure- 

 ments that are contained in it : —
