Further notes on the same subject. 



Proprosopic and platyoprosopic are terms used to indicate 

 whether the middle part of the face, between the level of the lower 

 part of the nose and the supra-orbital level above, projects forward 

 or is flat. In the former the breadth of the face at the level of the 

 cheekbones appears diminished by these bones receding or being as 

 it were pressed inwards; so that the face curves regularly forward 

 from the ears to the nose, the latter is consequently prominent and 

 appears as a keel on the top of the arch. In the second the face is 

 broad and flat in appearance, the cheekbones are prominent, and in 

 extreme forms the side and front of the face are almost at right 

 angles to one another, the bend of the angle being at the cheekbones, 

 and the nose appears as if projecting from an almost flat surface. 

 Extreme forms of the first type are frequently seen amongst English 

 people, while the most marked type of the second is met with in the 

 Eskimo and of the Chinese.

(a) Eelating to males : — 



Is there any evidence of special physical training for sexual pur-

 Is there any minimum limit of age ? Is any proof of virility 

 required ? Is promiscuous intercourse, with or without precautions 

 against pregnancy, permitted before marriage ? If so, what steps 

 are taken to enforce the rules, and what punishment follows their 

 breach ?
