    The Internal Orbital Facial Breadth and Middle Facial Breadth in Mongoloid Crania from Peru and East Asia, with Special Reference to Their Significance as a Racial Criterion
    (Keiji Okajima, 1997) Katsutomo Kato; TAMOTSU OGATA; H Ibarra Vidal; Yoshitaka Manabe; Yoshikazu Kitagawa; Joichi Oyamada; Atsushi Rokutanda
    The internal orbital facial breadth (BIFMO), middle facial breadth (BIZM) and their dimensional relationship in 789 crania from 3 Peruvian and 7 East Asian series were examined to determine a Mongoloid criterion. The results confirmed that BIZM was invariably greater than BIFMO in the Peruvian and East Asian series, and clearly different from the quoted European and African populations (Ducros, 1965). Further discussion, which referred to world population data by Woo and Morant (1934), showed that the relationship between BIZM and BIFMO was useful as a simple racial criterion to distinguish the Mongoloid series, except in special cases such as the Oceanians.
