We have in such an arrangement the united brows forming- the upper member of 

 the radical, the vertical membei- of which is the nose. 



In the same manner we may accept the outline of the above figure as one of the

 East Indian coins. In this less perfect illustration, the brow line is separated from 

 the nose, and the cruciform outline given is the result of changes in the nostrils.

Can it be doubted that 



they have had their origin in the same natural model ? Does not this simple contrast

 shape of the nose in the latter group, indicate widely remote tendencies of art-growth 

 in these two races ?
