^{page 263 note *} The importance of measurements to determine the character of the profile of the nose was shown by Mr Oldfield Thomas (Journ. Anthrop. Inst., vol. xiv. p. 332, 1885). From them a nasio-malar index may be computed as follows, the bi-malar line being = to 100; . The bi-malar line is the distance in a direct line between the most posterior points of the malar borders of the two orbits. The nasio-malar line I measured with sliding compasses between these points on the two malar bones and the mid-point of the nasion. A low, flat-faced profile is platyopic, say, with index below 106; a projecting profile ia pro-opic, say, with index above 110; whilst one with intermediate projection is mesopic.

^{page 264 note *} In my memoir on the Craniology of the People of Scotland (Trans. Roy. Soc. Edin. vol. xl. part iii. p. 599, 1903)Google Scholar, I have specially referred to the relations of the breadth to the height of the cranium, and have computed a breadth-height index from the following formula: . When the index exceeds 100 the skull is hypsistenocephalic, a high, narrow skull; when less than 100, platychamoecephalic, a wide, low skull.

^{page 281 note *} MrRisley, , in his Anthropometric Data of the Tribes and Castes of Bengal, vol. i. p. 21, c.s. Calcutta, 1891Google Scholar, gives a table of measurements of a hundred Bráhmans. In 32 the cephalie index was 80 and upwards, in 30 it was from 77·5 to 79·9, in 25 from 75 to 77·4, and in only 13 it was below 75. When an allowance is made for the difference between the index in the living head and in the skull, there still remains a decided preponderance in the Bráhmans of heads either brachycephalic or approximating thereto.
