The ranges of variation of the relative nasal height in the two races overlap each other extensively; therefore this index has but little value in racial diagnosis except in extreme cases where the measurement exceeds , a number never found in negroes. A Japanese fetus of the eleventh week had a relative nasal height of , which is about equal to the corresponding figure in wliites. The Filipinos showed for this measurement the following values: eleventh week , fourteenth week , nineteenth week , and twenty-first week ; these are greater in the beginning, while later they are much smaller than the corresponding figures in whites. The Indians have for this index in the sixteenth week , in the eighteenth week , and in the twentieth week , the first figure being smaller, the latter two larger than the averages of corresponding ages in whites. Unfortunately, these cases are too few to warrant any conclusions, and are merely intended to place on record the measurements obtained in these rare specimens. Two fetuses of Macacus cynomolgus, sitting height 35 and 56 mm., measured by Toldt (1903), had relative nasal heights of and respectively, figures which are close to th
