cumference of the head in women as worthless, because owing 

 to the hair and the head dressings, the difficukies are quite 

 serious. 



The circumference of the head was 33.77 percent of the aver- 

 age stature (100 x -ff^.f = 33-77)- The tall men who were 

 170 cm. and taller in height, had relatively smaller heads 

 than those who were short of stature, less than 160 cm. and 

 less. This is best seen in the accompanying table :

which shows that while with the increase of stature the hori- 

 zontal circumference of the head also increases, but when 

 considered in relation to stature, the size of the head decreases. 

 The men of short stature had a circumference of the head of 

 35.1 percent of their body height, while the tall people's heads 

 averaged only 32.32 percent of their stature. This is best seen 

 in the accompanying table :
