ANTHROPOLOGY OF EASTERN EUROPEAN JEWS 253 



The Nasal Index. 

 The nasal index, calculated by multiplying the width of the 

 nose by lOO and dividing the product by the height of the nose, 

 was in men 69.23 and in women 69. 14 — identical in both sexes. 

 The distribution of the individual indices according to Collignon's 

 classification, is as follows :

It is evident from these figures that both Jews and Jewesses 

 are generally leptorrhinian. Broad noses are quite infrequent,
