axis, while the negroes must closely resemble the primitive Aino, and the Copt 
alone stands lower than they do in the relative proportion of the upper height. 
It must not, however, be overlooked that while European crania are in breadth 
and length notably superior to the negro of the Congo-Gaboon type, and quite 
significantly superior to the Zulu-Kaffir groups, they are not superior in auricular 
height. The negro is just as high from auricular passage to the vertex ; the 
largeness of the index 100 0H/H is not due to a development of the upper portion 
of the European's skull ; it appears due to a lessening of the basal part of his 
skull. 
Skull- Base : To test this we may compare the basi-nasal length LB of the 
skull in negro and other races. We have

* OH from Ranke's measurements is 120-75 for males and 114-17 for females, giving for the indices 
90 2 and 89'2. I have deducted 5 mm. from his values, believing that he has measured from centre of 
auricular passages, and in accordance with my observation on actual sections, see Biometrika, Vol. vin.
