Fijian faces have the moderate average height of 122.5 mm. Slightly shorter faces occur in the interior people, whereas the greatest total face height average occurs in the east. The Fijian of Howells' series is close to mine. The Tongan value for face height describes them as definitely longer faced. The Solomon Islanders depart in the other direction with decidedly shorter faces.

Relative to maximum breadth, the Fijian face tends to shortness, although this is due largely to their generous facial breadth rather than absolute deficiency of height. The interior groups have the lowest values and the eastern groups show relatively broad faces.
The Tongan average is much higher than any of the Fijian values, whereas the Solomon Islanders show similarity to the Fijians in this feature.
Upper Face Height
| No. | Range | Mean | S.D. | C.V. | |
| Total sample | 815 | 56-84 | 70.2 | 5.1 | 7.3 |
| Interior | 154 | 59-79 | 69.1 | 3.9 | 5.6 |
| East | 120 | 64-83 | 71.7 | 4.0 | 5.6 |
| Coast | 210 | 59-84 | 70.4 | 6.6 | 9.4 |
| N.W. | 79 | 58-80 | 69.4 | 4.8 | 6.9 |
The ratio of the upper face height to maximum facial breadth shows the Fijians of the interior to be relatively shorter faced and the eastern people longest. The coastal and northwestern series are intermediate.
