THE VOYAGE OF H.M.S. CHALLENGEK. 
general mean as well as that of each sex was metriocephalic. The mean basi-bregmatic 
height of eight females was 134 mm., the maximum being 140 mm., and the minimum 
125 mm. The mean corresponding height of eight males was 139, the maximum being 
150 mm., the minimum 134 mm. In the males the height and breadth in two skulls 
were equal ; in four the breadth exceeded the height, in two the height exceeded the 
breadth. In the females the breadth exceeded the height in four specimens, whilst in the 
other four the height was greater than the breadth. 
The mean gnathic index in the males was 95*4, in the females 97 ; so that the 
average in both was orthognathous. None of the males exceeded 97, but one female 
reached 100 and another 103 ; both of these, therefore, were mesognathous. The mean 
nasal index was 47 '5 in the males, and 51 in the females ; the average in both was
