and breadth, is the same as the mode of the frequency curve of these indices which signifies 

 a comparatively small number of extremes. 



The frequency curves in figures 5, 6, and 7, show that the typical facial index of the 

 Southern New England Indian is 52.7, that of the Czech (Bohemian) 50 (Schiff 1912) ;

and that of the African Negro, 50 (Drontschilow 1913). These comparative figures show 

 that the typical face of the New England Indian is somewhat narrower than that of the 

 Negro or Slav. 



Tables V and VI show the percentage of individuals falling under the five different classes 

 of broad or narrow faces. A comparison shows that among the specimens measured, there 

 were no females in the Hyperleptoprosopic Class and a smaller percent than among the 

 males in the class Hyperchamaeprosopic, another example of the conservatism of the female.
