MEASUREMENTS OF THE FACE. 



Having discussed the cérébral part of the skull, we will pass to the examination of 

 the face. In the introduction it has already been said that in conséquence of the great confor- 



mity in average standing-height, 

 Diagram XIII. all measures f t ] ie Timorini are 



very well comparable with those 



Pa of the Dyak. However, this won't 



do for the plain-Papuans. As, 



according to the estimate, the 



mb. Pap. , 



coast-Papuans are scarcely 160 

 cm. long, their numbers must be 

 1. Timorini diminished by 3 n / to make them 

 fit for a comparison with those 

 of the Timorini. The numbers 

 of the Mamberamo-Papuans — 



e Timorini r 



standing-height 162,5 cm. — must 



therefore be diminished by 5°/ . 



By doing so, we won't wander 



too far from the truth. I think 



it just as well to make this some- 



what rude comparison, as to 



calculate the relative values of 



thèse small measures, thus pre- 



tending an exactness that does 



not exist in reality ; the more, because 



the standing-height of one of the com- 



pared objects is only an approximate one 



(the standing-height of the coast-Papuans 



has not been measured). 



We will begin with a comparison 

 between the examined Papuan tribes, 

 starting with : 



Breadth of the forehead (Diagr. 

 XIII). 



Index fronto-parietalis trans- 

 vers a 1 i s. (Diagr. XIV). 



M. 102,1 mm. of the coast-Papuans 



must be reduced to 99, M. 105 mm. of 



the Mamberamo-Papuans to 100, to get 



the required comparable values. We see 



that the Timorini beat them all in breadth of the forehead; yet their large top contains 



the absolute as well as the relative values of the Iowland-Papuans. But it surprises us to see 



Smallest breadth of forehead.
