The Nose. — In conformity with the large face the Chippewa have 

 also on the average a rather large nose, although, as already men- 

 tioned under "Observations", it is never very prominent. 



The nasal index, which is usually of considerable importance, does 

 not rise quite so high in Chippewa males as in the Indians of the 

 Southwest. In females the mean nasal index of Southwestern tribes 

 is slightly surpassed by the Chippewa, but this is only because the 

 latter series includes many aged individuals in whom the nasal breadth 

 is in general relatively greater than it is in younger adults. Taking 

 only the subjects up to 60 years of age, the mean index in the females 

 is found to be 76.6. The tribe, as in the case of the majority of Indians, 

 is mesorhinic.
