Papuan race itself we state an important différence too ; it is notable however that in the taller 

 tribes the breadth of nose is only a little smaller, but that the length of nose, especially 

 in the coast-men, is markedly longer. Their mesorrhiny is not due to the narrowness, but to 

 the length of nose; they appear to be, in contrast with the Dyak, big-nosed. And it is 

 exactly the big nose more than the famous aquiline one that is characteristic for the inhabi- 

 tants of New-Guinea. 



Kleiweg de Zwaan found as length of nose of 1294 inhabitants of Nias M. 49,3 mm., 

 as breadth of nose M. 38.1 mm., and as Ind. nas. 77,28. On the other hand, VAN DER Sande 

 found for the Humboldt-Bay Papuans (a little more eastward than Bongko, the place from 

 where came my coast-Pap.), 53 mm., 44 mm. and 83,7. The coïncidence with the Dyak on

Index nasalis. 



one side and the coast-Papuans on the other, supports fairly my measurements and the con- 

 clusions drawn thereof. 



The question rises, if there is any corrélation between tall stature and mesorrhiny. 

 This appears not to be the case; out of the 13 mesorrhine Timorini there are 7 below the 

 average length, — ■ two even below 150 cm. — and only 6 above; out of the 12 hypercha- 

 maerrhine (Ind. nas. above 100) there are even 5 with a standing-height of 159 and [60 cm. 



INDEX CEPHALICUS. 



The graphie représentations of head-length and head-breadth of the Timorini (Diagr. V 

 and VI) do not show very regular curves, though there is not sufficient reason for distinguishing 

 two éléments. This holds still less for the Dyak-curve, though there concentration is nearly 

 absent. So it cannot surprise that the Index cephalicus of the Dyak is showing a less regular 

 curve than that of the Timorini, with whom it appears after ail fairly concentrated. (Diagr. VII). 



The head-length of the 64 maie Timorini averages 186,75 mm., the head-breadth 

 145,7 mm., so both measures are of médium size. For the Dyak the figures are resp. 187,65 mm.
