One very dark-skinned and platyrhine individual, indeed, had a nasal index of 92.
Thus it will be seen that races with a nasal index of more than 100 have a nose wider than it is long.
Only, the nasal index is somewhat smaller; on the whole, the nose has in its separate parts a decidedly pithecoid form.
Of the total, five are leptorhine—that is, have the “narrow” nose with nasal index below 70.
The nasal index varies from 84 to 140—a truly astonishing series of noses!
