Anthropologists generally speak of any one with an index of 75 (or where the breadth is 75\% of the length) and below this as dolichocephalic, or long-headed; from 75 to 80 is the class of the mesocephalic, intermediates; while above 80 is that of the subbrachycephalic and brachycephalic, or round-headed.
