The development of the nasal bridge differs among the Indians more or
less from tribe to tribe, hence it would be erroneous to assume that
all Indians, or even a majority in some of the tribes, had high noses.
On the other hand, the nasal bridge is never flat and short as in the
negro. In the females, as among the whites, the bridge is generally
lower than in the males. The observations on the Munsee, among 17
cases in which the bridge is preserved, show 10 of medium height and 7
submedium to low.
