tants, though we never saw them in the neighbourhood of Pioneer-bivouac. It is possible 

 that depilation, as mentioned for other Papuan tribes, is practised there. Anyhow, the moun- 

 tain-Papuans ofFer in the grovvth of the beard only a quantitative différence vvith the plain- 

 tribes. Abundant terminal hair on the body was found rather often, especially on the chest, 

 the belly, the back of the shoulders, the arms and the legs. At Menoekwari I had seen the 

 saine on some Papuans of the coast. 



NOSE. 

 TOPINARD, in his "Eléments d'Anthropologie", mentions the fornvof the nose as a 



first-rate feature of race. If the for m of the face may often be very typical, it is much more 



difficult to fix by its measures ; there- 

 fore the index nasalis is a better classi- 

 fier than the index facialis. 

 Length of nose. (Diagr. II). 



The length of nose of the Ti- 

 morini varies principally between 43 

 and 53 mm. M, coïnciding with the 

 Med.m. on 48, is lying between the 

 two Mo's. Round Mo. 46 — between 

 44 and 48, — are concentrated 31 

 objects (50%) ; round Mo. 52 — between 

 50 and 54, — 22 objects (34°/ ). So 

 we hâve hère something of the kind 

 as we saw in the standing height: a 

 long-nosed and a short-nosed élément. 

 The curve of the female Timo- 

 rini is not in contradiction with this 

 statement; beside 15 objects (75°/ u ), 

 concentrated round Mo. 40, there are 

 5 objects (25%) with relatively long 

 noses that make M. rise to 41,9 mm. 

 The Papuans of the Mambe- 

 ramo and those of the North-coast 

 appear to hâve, absolutely as well as 

 comparatively, much longer noses — 

 M 52,3 mm. and 53,4 mm. — than 

 their brothers in the mountains. 

 Compared to that of the Timorini, the Dyak-curve is of a more compressed form. The 



homogeneous central part ofthe objects lies between 45 and 50 (26 objects = 65%) ; M =48,2 mm.; 



hence we may consider the length of nose of Timorini and Dyak as practically the same. 



Breadth of nose. (Diagr. III). 



The breadth of nose of the Timorini is showing a regular, though rather broad curve. 



M., Med. m. and Mo. coincide on 44 mm.
