waist than the men. The mammae, often of unequal size or form after lactation, are 

 ùsually w.ell developed in the shape ofthe mamma areolata (Stratz [1904a, 165, fig. 115 <r]), 

 the prominent areola, therefore, placed like a small mamma on the large one. Cases of 

 supramamma and hyperthely hâve not been noticed by me. 



On page '343 I pointed to the coast people being taller than the mountaineers; the 

 latter, as often remarked, look healthy and strong, as well at the S. W. coast (MODERA [1830, 

 99;and no], Van der Goes [1858, 33]) as in Geelvink Bay ([Le, 160]; Bruyn [1877, 188]). 

 The same magnificent physique of the shorter (SEL1GMANN [1906, 234]) inland people is 

 mentioned of the southern parts (HADDON [1900, 278], ANNUAL REPORT [1904- — 05, 5]), and it is 

 noted especially that they hâve better developed legs (Pratt [1906, 304]), whilst there is a " coast - 

 tendency to long and free-playing limbs, good arms, but flat chests and thin legs" (MACGREGOR 

 [1897, 28]). Notwithstanding in the north the coast people are overpowering the inland tribes 

 (see also WEULE [1902, 247]), the above tables show by exact ciphers that the same somatic 

 différence exists hère; HAGEN [1899, 158], however, calls the coast-Jabim "wohlproportionirt". 



Firstly it appears that ail relative measurements of the trunk (with the exception of 

 the bitrochanteric diameter) are larger in people of Lake Sentâni (inland type) than in H. B. 

 people (coast type); however, as regards the limbs, the figures in the tables III and V are not 

 very striking; more significant results are obtained by relating them to the trunk (MANOUVRIER 

 [1902, 11]). The relative length of the upper limb then is on Lake Sentâni and Humboldt 

 Bay 141.4 and 143.8 resp., that of the lower limb 163.5 anc * 166.1 resp.. Therefore with 

 respect to thèse Papuans once more the expérience of MANOUVRIER [1902, 63, 74] is confirmed, 

 that with the increase of the standing height the length of the limbs increases more than 

 that of the trunk, and that of the thoracic limb more than that of the abdominal limb. But 

 not only are the limbs of the inland tribe relatively shorter, and thus in better proportion 

 to the length of the trunk, the limbs themselves are also better developed, that is to say, 

 more fleshy, which is proved by the girths and indices of the tables IV and VI, being 

 superior in the case of the inland tribes. HAGEN [1899, 160] in his description of the mountain 

 type, points to the same characteristics, classing that type with the premalays. 



Comparing the weight of the body similar results are obtained. The weight of Sentâni 

 maies varies between 53 and 72.5 K.G., average 61.9 K.G., that of H. B. maies between 50 

 and 64 K.G., average 57.6 K.G.; for the former this means 38.7 grams, for the latter only 

 35.3 grams per centimeter of the standing height. For the maie inhabitants of Merauke, Mimika, 

 Etna Bay and Fak Fak this number is 39.5, 38.1, 35.7 and 33.4 grams resp..
