Turkish sign: 

Throwing head back or elevating the chin and partly shutting the eyes. 
This also means, “Be silent.” (Barnum.)

Japanese sign: 

Move the right hand rapidly back and forth before the face.  Communicated in a letter from Prof.  E.S.  MORSE, late of the University of Tokio, Japan.  The same correspondent mentions that the Admiralty Islanders pass the forefinger across the face, striking the nose in passing, for negation.  If the no is a doubtful one they rub the nose in passing, a gesture common elsewhere.

For further illustrations and comparisons see pp. 290, 298, 299, 304, 355, and 356, supra.
