q1 · i? · associational · r1

Head length and breadth were taken with callipers and the cephalic index computed and plotted in the charts. The article reports fluctuations in both cases and gives the parental indices as 78.8 and 81.8; precautions were taken to measure underneath the hair.

"It will be noted that this exhibits some interesting fluctuations in both cases. In connection with this data it will be of interest to know that the cephalic index of one of the parents is 78.8 and of the other 81.8."
