In the Pima of both sexes and of all the stature groups the antero-posterior diameter of the head is longer than in the Apache, but thisis a result of a difference in shape of the head and not in its size as awhole. In the males the length of the head at nearly every stage is a littlegreater than in the females of the same stature. The difference isquite uniform during childhood and earlier adolescence, but becomesmore marked at the completion of growth, owing in the case of theadult males to excess of development in the reg
