摘要:
Four measurements (providing 2 indices) were taken on the malar bones of 639 [male] and 71 [female] skulls representing 14 races. No clear sexual difference in shape was found. The left bones tended to be slightly larger than the right. Most of the mean measurements indicated clear racial differences, and the Eskimo type was found to diverge markedly from all others on account of its large size and unusual shape. The measurements should be a valuable aid in testing problems of racial classification, and they should be included in the routine descriptions of cranial series.
