外鼻に関する研究補遺

　緒言

　鼻は眼につき易いためか外鼻に関しては古今東西の学者から種々調査研究され，その型・生体測定等についても殆どあますところなく研究しつくされてゐるが，鼻型と鼻疾患との関係についてはあまり研究されてゐないようである．

　私は先般應召中，日本人成年男子について調べる機会があつたので，これらについて外鼻の生体測定・鼻型の観察殊に鼻型と鼻疾患との関係等について統計的研究を試み，いさゝか興味ある結果を得たので茲に報告し先人の研究に補遺せんとするものである．

Ohki seeks to establish possible relation that might exist between external forms of nasal features and corresponding susceptibility to na-sal diseases. Data on measurements of nose in reference to height, width, length and the size of anterior choana are obtained on 560 persons of either sexes of adult Japanese and classified categorically into four different types according to the outline of the dorsal ridge, direction of the plane of nasal base, exponents of measure-ments at the widest portion and the height at its tip. Correlating the data to nasal diseases found in respective cases, it is found a nose characterized by sagging dorsal line, upturned in its plane, widely spread with low height se-ems to be susceptible to nasal diseases in grea-test number of times.
