��The agreement between these two series is so close that we may conclude that the methods of both observers were practically identical. The only measurement that shows considerable diver- gence is that of breadth of face, in which Shaw's measurements are much smaller than those of Bolton. This may be due to the occurrence of narrower faces among the Ute of Colorado which are contained in Shaw's series. Shaw has for 27 adult male Shoshoni an average breadth of face of 147.8 mm., while for 24 Ute of Colorado he has only 143.8 mm. This view is somewhat corroborated by the observations on children. On a former occasion * I have given the rates of growth of the breadth of face among Indian children. By adding these values to those observed among Indian children we obtain an approximate idea of the width of face of the adult. Bolton's observations on 14 boys from Utah give a value of 148.0 mm. ; Shaw's measurements of 30 Shoshoni boys give an average of 149.5, and of 13 boys from Colorado an average of only 144.5.

I have also measurements of seven children, measured by both

1 Women seventeen years and more.
