The narrowness of theforehead, its height, its bulging at the level of the frontal bosses, theantero-posterior elongation of the cranium, its posterior part in theform of an inclined plane, and then curved round; the height Chap.

Theieeth themselves are worn down horizontally as ia this race. Butit is wanting in many of their characters. Their malar bones, looked at in profile, project forwards, and fall straight, as in theEsquimau (compare Eigs. 46 and 47) ; but looked at in front they4o not project outwards, and are not unusually large ; whence the.

Moreno(Museum of the Laboratory of Anthropology of the Ecole des Hautes Etudes), oval shape of the face, described by Lieutenant Musters as that ofthe present Patagonian race, while the Esquimau has a fuU faceand has very wide cheek-bones, and the American, barring hisprominent nose, generally has it both broad and flat. The cephalicindex of those five skulls is 7202, that is to say they are the mostdecidedly dolichocephalic in the world, after those of the Esqui-maux, and their prognathism is 694, or less than the American, and as much or more than the Esquimaux. To make up for this, theyare mesorrhinian, very nearly approaching to platyrrhinian, whilethe Esquimaux are the most leptorrhinian on the face of the globe. 2 I 2 4S4 RED AFRICAN TYPE. [Chap. xr.
