subjected to certain rules. It appears that for the Timorini head-length and dolichocephaly 

 increase according to the standing-height, but that there is hardly any corrélation betvveen 

 the latter and the head-breadth. Yet there is one betvveen head-length and head-breadth in 

 the sensé of: longer heads — broader heads. In the less homogeneous Dyak-tribe the corrélation 

 betvveen standing-height and head-length is still left, that concerning the cephalic index has 

 already disappeared, as well as that betvveen head-length and -breadth. 



Without doubt the comparison of the diagrams of two quite différent races is apt to 

 ameliorate our insight in thèse questions, but more comparison vvith other groups is necessary 

 to make out what is regular and what not. 



For the female Timorini we find a well-centred Ind. ceph., averaging Jjfi, thus prac- 

 tically the same as for the maie members of the tribe. Their head-length is 179,8 mm., their

head-breadth 139,2 mm. The relative values 12,6 and 9,7 point out that the women hâve 

 comparatively bigger heads than the men, which, regarding their short stature, is not surprising. 



I also measured the heads of 23 children betvveen 7 and 14 years old. The mean of 

 their Ind. ceph. vvas 78,4; so it differed only slightly from that of men and women. There 

 appeared to be no corrélation between the Ind. ceph. and the âge of the children. (Diagr. XII). 



The coast-Papuans form a group with a quite différent head-form. The head-length is 

 with M. 189,1 mm. only a little longer than that of the Timorini (the relative head-length 

 is even shorter; it may be estimated on 11,8), but their head-breadth is vvith M. 136,2 mm. 

 nearly 1 cm. shorter (relative head-breadth + 8,5). They are dolichocephals:- M. 72,1. In the 

 Timorini-curve of the Ind. ceph. as well as in that of the head-breadth, we look in vain for 

 a small top, corresponding vvith the average magnitudes of the coast-people. There is however
