farther it is from the median. There is however no such uni- 

 formity to be observed in the curve for the women ; here there are 

 four apices observable, which would seem to indicate a greater 

 variability of the height of the face of Jewesses. 

 The average width of the face was as follows :

Jews 135 



Jewesses 127 



The range of extreme individual variation was in Jews, 31. i i 

 percent and in Jewesses, 28.34 percent of the average width of 

 the face, which would indicate a lesser variability than that ob- 

 served in the height of the face of the Jews. The standard de- 

 viation is, however, large. In men it is found to amount to 

 6.25, and in the women, 5.87. The probable error also is large, 

 in the men, 0.1072, and in the women, 0.1895, about the same 

 as in the case of the height of the face. The distribution of the 

 various values obtained by measurement, is given in the accom- 

 panying table XXXVII, showing that in the case of both men and 

 women, there is a fair uniformity of type. 



There is very little difference in the average width and height 

 of the face of Jews from various countries, as can be seen from 

 the following figures :

The average height is in each group 1 1 9 or 1 20 mm. in the 

 Jews and 107 to 113 mm. in the Jewesses. The slight differ- 

 ence in the Jewesses may be explained by the comparatively 

 small number of observations. The width of the face is sim- 

 ilarly almost the same in each group.
