platyrhinian

Those familiar with Topinard's monumental work will recall the particular importance he gives to the nasal index, and how he shows that it is perhaps the most exact character for classifying races; all white races being leptorhinian, the yellow mesorhinian, and the black or negro races platyrhinian.

He is a scattered survivor of the pygmy negro race, at one time undoubtedly far more important and numerous; brachycephalic, platyrhinian, woolly headed, and, when unaffected by the higher culture of the surrounding peoples, a pure forest-dwelling savage.

With two exceptions all are of about the same low stature, all mesaticephalic, all platyrhinian or nearly so.

All are platyrhinian except two, and nine of the sixteen have indices of 100 or over.

The head index is brachycephalic except in the case of three, and all are platyrhinian, or nearly so, except one.

These men are all of low stature, long armed, all platyrhinian, but having a very varying head-shape, one being dolichocephalic (head length 195, breadth 142, and index 72.8), and one brachycephalic, 81.

All are brachycephalic except one (79.7), and all are platyrhinian but one.

All are platyrhinian, most of them excessively so.

Four are platyrhinian, two exceeding 100, two are mesorhinian, and four are midway between Topinard's mesorhinian and platyrhinian types.

All were platyrhinian, except one who was mesorhinian, the indices being 79,
