ptadia, vol. ii, p. 258), red or yellow hair is
sometimes regarded as a mark of sexuality.

In harmony with this fairness, sexual offenders would appear to
be more dolichocephalic than other criminals. In Italy Marro
found the foreheads of sexual offenders to be narrow, and in
California Draehms found that while murderers had an average
cephalic index of 83.5, and thieves of 80.5, that of sexual
offenders was 79.

On the other hand, high cheek-bones and broad faces--a condition
most usually found associated with brachycephaly--have sometimes
been noted as associated with undue or violent sexuality. Marro
noted the excess of prominent cheek-bones in sexual offenders,
and in America it has been found that unchaste girls tend to have
broad faces. (_Pedagogical Seminary_, December, 1896, pp. 231,
235.)

It will be seen that, when we take a comprehensive view of the facts and
considerations involved, it is possible to obtain a more definite and
coherent picture of the physical signs of a marked aptitude for
detumescence than has hitherto been usually supposed possible. But we also
see that while the _ensemble_ of these signs is probably fairly reliable
as an index of marked sexuality, the separate signs have no such definite
significance, and under some circumstances their significance may even be
reversed.
