on the measure-list of each person. As the face of the Timorini is far from being uniform, 

 this is not very easy. 



The eyes, always brown, make a perfectly European impression: the Mongolian pecu- 

 liarities are totally absent. The sciera is often more or less pigmented. 



As for the nose, the following remarks are made : the profile is mostly straight; 

 in 1 5°. (> on 32 examined individuals was established a moderate convexity, and some- 

 times concavity was stated. The back is somewhat short, only three times a long back 

 was noted. The nostrils are fairly broad. Once only I saw a narrovv nose (of a woman).

It is the blunt top and above ail the broad, flat back that classes the nose among the 

 coarse type. 



Next to the chamaerrhiny the most striking feature of the Timorini-nose is found in 

 the root. Generally it is deep; in three cases only it was rather high. But more than in the 

 degree of depth, the peculiarity is found in the abrupt re-entering, so that an acute-angled 

 pit is formed between the forehead and the back of the nose. The deepset nose-root and 

 the deepset eyes under the protruding forehead suggest a Torus frontalis. But if one under- 

 stands by the latter a projecting of the supra-orbital région, as described by CUNNINGHAM 

 and SCHWALBE (MARTIN [112], page 770), it is not prevailing: among 50 objects I found a 

 quite flat forehead in 60%; for the rest 20% had a slightly prominent and 20% a mode- 

 rately protruding supra-orbital arch.
