The local races, according to a scheme by Lonnberg, are 

 distinguished as follows : — 



a. Postorbital portion of skull very short and wide, 

 its length and breadth percentages to skull- 

 length being 10 and 13 J ; interorbital width 

 large, 36"5% B. se. xthiopicus. 



B. Postorbital region less wide, 10 ■ 9-10 ■ 5 and 11-9- 



11-5%; interorbital width less, 34-7-33% P. m. delamerei. 



c. Postorbital region of medium length and width 

 13 '4 and 13'1 % ; interorbital width less than 

 in any other race, 30 % P. le. africanus. 



D. Postorbital region much the same as in last, 



14 and 14 % ; interorbital width considerably 



greater, 38'8 % P. le. masaaicus. 



E. Postorbital region of medium length but narrow, 



13- 7 and 11%; interorbital width relatively 



small, 32'3 % P. se. sundevalli. 



r. Postorbital region very long and very narrow, 

 15-4 and 6'3 % ; interorbital width as in last,
