192 REPORT ON AN ADDITIONAL COLLECTION OF SKELETAL 
height of the nose occurs in erania from the Menard and Greer group and in the 
male skulls from Drew and Mississippi counties, Arkansas, and these two series 
show also the lowest average nasal index. On the other hand, the lowest nose with 
the highest nasal index is found in the Boytt’s Field crania, in which the face, as 
has been previously mentioned, also was exceptionally low. The average breadth 
of the nose differs less than the height in the various groups of skulls under соп- 
sideration. 
As to sexual differences, the three larger groups of crania show, as is usual in 
Indians, a lower average nasal index in the males than in the females. Similar 
difference exists also in whites and in other races, and is due to the fact that the 
height of the upper face is relatively less in the females, as compared with males, 
than its breadth.

The orbztal height in the Louisiana skulls ranges from 3.4 to 3.85 ст., and the 
breadth from 3.6 to 4.4 ст. In the females the variations are: height 3.3 to 3.65 
cm., breadth 3.55 to 4.0 em. The index varies from 77.5 to 100.0 in the male 
skulls, and from 84.6 to 97.3 in the female crania. The majority of the specimens 
are megaseme ; but the value of the orbital dimensions and indices in many of the 
artificially deformed skulls is problematic. It is certain that in some cases of 
_ fronto-occipital compression the deformation has the effect of heightening and pos- 
sibly also of narrowing the orbits. Тһе simple occipital compression is less influ- 
ential; nevertheless, when of a higher degree, it is not without an effect on the 
orbital measurements. 
In some cases both the measurements and the indices of the two orbits differ 
quite appreciably, and in a majority of these instances the index of the left orbit is 
the larger. "Thus, of the eighteen crania іп which the index could be determined, 
it was equal in two, larger on the right side in four, and larger on the left side in 
twelve. Similar differences were noted in the measurements of the Arkansas series; 
they exist also among Indians elsewhere, and have been found in whites. 
The palate in the Louisiana skulls is in the males predominantly mesuranic, 
in the females mainly brachyuranic. Its average indices are brachyuranie, and
