The nasal index is probably more reliable than the cephalic index as a 

 differential factor in the racial anatomy of a people, although it is not 

 so accurate on the living as on the skull, because of different methods of 

 measurement used by different observers, and of greater liability to errors 

 of technique. However, the nasal index, although slightly less for the 

 Morgue subjects than for the Japanese and Students, is practically 

 homogeneous for the four groups. 



The stature, the cephalic index and the nasal index establish the Iberian 

 type as a homogeneous entity which is found among Filipinos of extremely 

 different culture levels and among the Japanese. There are also other 

 characters that are homogeneous and that differentiate the Iberian from 

 the other types, which characters will now be given.

This index represents the distance from chin to uasion divided by the 

 greatest interzygomatic distance, and expresses the face height relatively; 

 therefore, it may be said that the face height of students of the Iberian 

 type is greater than that of the other groups, and least in the Japanese. 

 The Morgue males are practically the same as the Japanese. There is 

 no great disharmony among the groups, and the face, although not so 

 long and narrow as the original Iberian type of Europe, is longer and 

 narrower than that of the other types to be considered.

The brachial index, which represents the length of the forearm in 

 terms of the upper arm as 100, is much less for the Japanese than for the 

 Morgue subjects. The difference noted may be due to locality or nation- 

 ality rather than to type. The Japanese measured have short forearms 

 and long upper arms, which is characteristic of the Iberian in contrast 

 with other types presently to be discussed. The men and women have 

 nearly the same index.
