The author took measurements in 5 heights and 3 widths on the faces of 2, 374 boys and 2, 350 girls raging from 4 to 12 years of age who are residing in Yokohama, thereyr after he worked out the indices and the primary and the secondary both facial formulae derived therefrom according to Ogawara's method, thereby to observe the pattern of the morphological changes of the face by the infants' development. When the morphology of the face was studied by means of the facial formulae, the author learnt that it is changing slightly by the development of the infants, but it was found to be not in conformity with the formulae of the adults. The difference by sex was also not recognized. When the facial formulae were worked out by the author basing on the earlier anthropometric reports, the formulae of the above infants were found to be quite similar to those of the infants residing in the south western part of Shikoku Island, but they were found to be remarkably different from those of the “ Frutigtaler Kinder” indicating that the shape of the Japanese children is not more slender compared with the former. Thus, the presence of the racial difference in the morphology of the face even in the childhood is easily and clearly expressed. Consequently, it is concluded that this formulae is one of the extremely significant ones for the morphological study.
