accordance with the prevalence of intermarriage between coast and inland people (see p. 267). 

 By the above tables it is shown once more that the Papuan is by no means everywhere 

 dolichocephalic, as still taught by KEANE [1899, 127] and DENIKER [1900, 285]. Regarding 

 K. W. Land, HAGEN [1899, 159] déclares the coast people to be purely dolichocephalic, 

 those of the interior inclined to be brachycephalic, but the numbers given by this author do 

 not confirm such a statement. The length-height indices range under hypsicephaly, the same 

 as the indices found by SCHELLONG [1891]. 



Not infrequently a narrow fore h e ad is mentioned as a characteristic of the northern 

 Papuan (Maclay [1873a, 240], Van Hasselt [1886, 577], Jens [1904, 51]); Van der Goes 

 [1858, 113, 118, 160] stated the same of many coast parts, but [Le, 169] noted that the people 

 of H. B. had broader foreheads than vvere seen by him elsewhere. Now, the proportion to 

 the face, especially to the projecting malar bones, may make the forehead appear narrow, .... 

 as a part of the calvarium it must be compared with this, and then the next table shows 

 that the index is larger than with Europeans (FRITSCH [1899, 159]).

This table proves that with the people of H. B. the height of the body is 7.3 times 

 that of the head. TOPINARD [1885, 1072] gave for the Negro 7.0, for the European 7.5, for 

 which DENIKER [1900, 92] gives the percentage 13, corresponding with the cipher y.j. That 

 females hâve a relatively higher head than maies, as stated by différent authors, is also, 

 though slightly, shown by the H. B. women ; as, however, with women of ail races the limit 

 of the hair reaches down lower than with the men, the facial dimensions are less. The 

 relation between the height of the forehead and the physiognomic height, varying little in 

 the Papuans of the north coast, differs very much between both sexes of the Tugeri (Merauke). 

 In Europeans the percentage of 40 but also of 32.5 is found (Martin [1905, 382]).
