Broad faces are the rule among most of these people, as the total average of 145.7 mm. shows. Regional values for this criterion are closely alike in all parts of Fiji, the eastern showing a slight superiority in bizygomatic breadth.
Howells' Fiji series is slightly lower in this diameter as is the Tongan average. The Solomon Islands natives have definitely narrower faces.

Face breadth relative to head width averages 93.5 per cent for all Fijians; Howell's series is much the same. The narrower heads of the interior people largely account for their higher index; otherwise there is general similarity in the several provinces.
Zygo-Frontal

| Total sample | 815 | 64-100 | 75.5 | 3.0 | 3.9 |
| Interior | 154 | 64-98 | 75.4 | 3.2 | 4.2 |

| Tonga (Sullivan) | 116 | 63-84 | 73.1 | 4.2 | 5.8 |
The ratio of forehead width to face breadth is 75.5. All of the regional averages for the zygo-frontal index are strikingly alike among the Fijians in every instance; the forehead is about three-quarters the breadth of the face. The Tongan ratio is a little lower.
