Abstract
From measurements of Egyptian skulls it ia found that the skull is definitely and markedly asymmetrical, not only in individuals, but in the means. On the whole, the right side is larger than the left, especially the frontal and parietal bones. The left malar bone is the larger. The right and left measurements of the face and forehead are most highly correlated. Differences in variability are less marked than in means. "Whatever causes, associated with brain growth, or otherwise, lead to dominance in size of certain lateral portions of the skull, these do not appear to restrict the variability of those portions in any sensible degree.".
