A measurement of the relative amount of the jaw, expressed in terms of ratio of distance from the nasion to the basion (arbitrarily taken as 100) to the distance from the basion to middle point of the alveolar process called as gnathic index means angle of projection of face indicates presence of orthognathism or prognathism1 Facial angle is distance between nasion to the ogonion intersected by horizontal line of Frankfurt. Facial angle indicates position of chin2 When comparing skulls of different races and species, physical anthropologist makes use of measurements and indices which gives numerical expressions to certain features of the skulls. This constitutes craniometry which is the part of an anthropometry. 3 Seventy five dried skull collected from different part of Maharashtra were measured to determined the gnathic index __ampersandsignamp; facial angle.Gnathic index were classified by the method of Montagu (1960). 4 Average basion-nasion height were found to be 9.71 cm and maximum __ampersandsignamp; minimum were observed to be 10.3 cm and 9.2 cm respectively. Average basion- prosthion height was found to be 9.01 cm and maximum __ampersandsignamp; minimum were observed to be 10.0 cm and 8.2 cm respectively. Average gnathic index (mean __ampersandsignplusmn; SD) was 92.67__ampersandsignplusmn;4.02 __ampersandsignamp; S.E. 0.46. Average facial angle were found 870. Maximum __ampersandsignamp; minimum were observed to be 890 and 850 respectively. In our study most of the skulls were grouped under the Orthognathous (94.66%) when based on Montagu 2 __ampersandsignamp; Comas 3 .
