at the index of 80 and the other at 84, both of which are con- 

 nected by a more or less straight line : there is practically no 

 depression between the two apices. In fact it may be consid- 

 ered that this curve has no culminating apex at all. Individuals 

 with indices of 80 to 84 are encountered in about equal propor- 

 tions, as can be seen from the flattening of the curve at its top. 

 Whether the disturbing element in this case is some particula- 

 racial element, will not be discussed now. It must however be 

 pointed out that the same phenomenon is to be observed in the 

 curve of the cephalic index of the men, although only to a 

 lesser degree. There the flattening of the top of the curve 

 extends only over three units, from So to 82, while in the curve 

 of the women it extends over five units, from 80 to 84. The 

 variability of the head-form of the women is thus shown to be
