154 ANTHROPOLOGY OF THE CLYDE VALLEY. 



tables furnished by the London hat manufacturers. The following table 

 sub-divides the 265 heads measured into the classes usually named by 

 craniologists : 



Cranial index below 75 dolicho-cephalic, - 38 



75 to 77 sub-dolicho cephalic, - - 69 



78 and 79 ortho-cephalic, - - 52 



80 to 82 sub-brachy cephalic, - - 61 



83 to 89 brachy-cephalic, - 44

It is evident from the above tables that the majority of the dwellers in 

 the Clyde valley are still more Teutonic than Celtic in blood. Nevertheless 

 during the nineteenth century a modification has taken place in the strongly 

 Teutonic character of the people. From the continual influx of recruits 

 from all parts of Britain and Ireland an approximation to the ortho-cephalic 

 index so common in London is becoming more marked in Glasgow. In a 

 few generations the mixing of the different racial elements in the Clyde 

 valley will certainly lead to a more uniform type and to the elimination of 

 the extreme examples of the long-headed and broad-headed people, which 

 the above tables show to exist among the population of Strathclyde at the 

 present time.
