[17] Arranged on the basis of the cephalic index.
[18] Not sufficient to vitiate the measurements.
Attention may be called to the lower value of the average cephalic
index and the higher value of the average height-breadth index in the
males than in the females. These conditions, due to the relatively
greater length and also to the relatively greater height of the male
skull, are not exceptional and will later be found to be quite general
among Eastern Indians.
The identical value of the average height-length index in the two sexes
is of no special significance and is probably incidental.
In the deformed skulls we see the usual effect of the flattening by the
lessening of the length and a compensatory increase in both breadth and
height.
