224 Variation and Correlation of the Hitman Skull 
While Bavarian and Naqada are closely alike, and the female in both races is 
the more variable, in our series the position of the sexes is reversed, the male being 
the more variable. 
Next we have to compare indices: the following table of standard deviations 
contains the chief material available for comparison, which I extract from 
C. D. Fawoett's paper, p. 440 :

Here again, so far as a comparison is possible, it appears that the variability of 
the English skulls is nearly the same as that of the Bavarian. It is to be noted, 
too, that in all three indices, the English female is less variable than the male. 
For the remaining indices, the comparative data are meagre. We find the 
following standard deviations :

These figures show marked diversity of results. As compared with the Bavarians, 
the English have much greater variability in upper face index and much less in 
orbital index ; and while in upper face index and nasal index the Bavarian female 
has nearly the same variability as the male, the English female is more variable in 
the former, and less so in the latter. In orbital index, too, the comparative 
variability of the two sexes is remarkable, and is complicated by the marked 
difference between the standard deviations of the two eyes in the English male.
