The next table gives the percentage relations of the basion-nasion
diameter to the mean diameter of the skull. The correlation of the two
is even closer than in the case of the skull length, and the grouping,
while in the main alike, seems in general even more in harmony with
that in previous comparisons. The St. Lawrence Island females are very
exceptional, as was also apparent in other connections. The unusual
smallness of their skull (compare section on Cranial module) is
evidently due to a poor development of its posterior half.
