[30] Arranged on the basis of the Orbital Index.
[31] Arranged on the basis of the Nasal Index.
The average orbital index in the female Munsee is higher than that in
the males, as is generally the case, a fact directly due to the heavier
development of the supraorbital region in the males.
The _nose_ in many of the individual Munsee, in conformity with the
rest of the upper face, was rather short, but occasionally it was quite
broad. The indexes, according to Broca’s classification, give four
instances (25 per cent; 3 m., 1 f.) of leptorhinic, four cases (25 per
cent; 2 m., 2 f.) of mesorhinic, and eight cases (50 per cent; 3 m.,
5 f.) of moderately platyrhinic nasal aperture, the averages falling
both in mesorhiny. The usual accompaniments of platyrhiny in the negro
nose, however, are invariably absent, the inferior borders of the
aperture being moderately sharp and the bridge showing generally a fair
development.
