ABSTRACT

The first set of data to be used in this chapter is shown in Table 15.1. These data, collected by Colonel L.A. Waddell, were first reported in Morant (1923) and are also given in Hand et al. (1994). The data consist of five measurements on each of 32 skulls found in the southwestern and eastern districts of Tibet. The five measurements (all in millimeters) are as follows:

y1: greatest length of skull

y2: greatest horizontal breadth of skull

y3: height of skull

y4: upper face length

y5: face breadth, between outermost points of cheek bones

The main question of interest about these data is whether there is any evidence of different types or classes of skull.
