11. In looking at the table given at the end of this section it will be
seen that the Mânjhi, a true Dravidian (one hundred of whom were
selected for measurement), has the highest angle, viz., 70, closely
followed by the Dhângar, another caste of the same class, with one of
69, the aristocratic Brâhman and Râjput ranking sixth on the list with
the same average angle as the Dravidian Chamâr. The vermin-eating
Musahar comes at the bottom of the list with an average angle of 62.

divisions thus—
=======================+=========+========
Division. | Caste. | Facial
| | Angle.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+~~~~~~~~~+~~~~~~~~
1. Aryan | Brâhman | 65
2. Medium | Kâyasth | 66
3. Dravidian } | |
(a) Hinduized } |Chamâr | 65
(b) Aboriginal | Kol | 67
=======================+=========+========
and compare them, we find that there is practically no difference
whatever.
