ANTHROPOLOGY OF EASTERN EUROPEAN JEWS 251 



mm. It will be observed that the height of the nose in the 

 largest proportion of individuals was equal that of the average 

 and median value. This is evident in both the men and women, 

 in the latter it appears that the height of 49 to 50 mm. was 

 more frequent than the height of 47 to 48 mm., but the differ- 

 ence was very small, less than one percent. 



The standard deviation is quite large — 4.008 in the Jews, 

 and 3.368 in Jewesses. The probable error is in men 0.06947, 

 and in women 0.1099. This indi- 

 cates a greater variability of the 

 women, but this is to be attributed 

 to the fact that the number of 

 Jewesses examined is about one- 

 third that of Jews. 



Width of the Nose. 



The width of the nose was taken 

 with a sliding compass, by measur- 

 ing the distance of the alae without 

 compressing them. The average 

 width of the nose is in Jews 36.35 

 mm., and 32.92 mm. in Jewesses. 

 The maximum width was in men 

 48 mm. and in women 43 mm. 

 The minimum width of the nose 

 was 27 mm. in men and 25 mm. in 

 women. The difference between 

 the maximum and minimum width 

 of the nose was 21 mm. or 43.75 

 percent of the average in the Jews, 

 and 18 mm. or 54.54 percent of 

 the average width in the Jewesses. The variability of the nose 

 in women is thus shown to be greater than that of the men. 



Table XL shows the seriation of the values obtained by 

 measurement of the width of the nose in Jews and Jewesses. 

 The average width corresponds to the median and is in the 

 most frequently occurring group. A curve plotted from these 

 figures will run a more or less smooth course.
