the superciliary arches moderately pronounced, the globella 

 less so ; the nose long and salient, the root not very deeply 

 set ; eyes lively, rather small in length, not prominent, rather 

 far apart; a hollow beneath the orbit; the chin long, rounded 

 but narrow, not very prominent, mandible narrow, often 

 prominent beyond the maxilla, the angle with little salience 

 downwards or forwards ; the distance from the eve to the 

 alse nasi great, thence to the mouth short, and to the chin 

 long. 



Such is the portrait of the typical Basque, the correct- 

 ness of which is amply avouched by many photographs ; 

 still, as Aranzadi acknowledges, it is not usual to meet with 

 a man who answers to the type in every point. 



Noticing that the curve of kephalic index was distinctly 

 bicipital, with culminations about 76-77 and 80-81, he set 

 himself to disentangle the rejnains of the constituent types. 

 This his various measurements enabled him to do with a 

 great appearance of probability, by showing that certain 

 special varieties of feature, for example, blue eyes, were 

 much more frequently associated with certain others, such 

 as a long narrow nose and tall stature, than they should be 

 by the doctrine of chances 



Ultimately he dissected out three types. 



First, one with green or greenish-brown eyes, set wide 

 apart, brown hair, short stature, a broad head, a narrow 

 nose and mandible, and a considerable facial anode. 



Second, one with hazel or brown eyes, not wide apart, 

 dark hair, middle stature, a long narrow head, a broad and 

 concave nose, a broad mandible, a medium or small facial 

 angle. 



I hird, and least numerous, one with small blue eyes, 

 not wide apart, light brown hair, tall stature, a long narrow 

 head, a long and straight nose and long narrow face, a 

 rather narrow mandible (not so markedly narrow, however, 

 as in the first type, which has a broader zygoma), a small 

 mouth, and a small facial angle. The admixture of this 

 type would appear to have been subsequent to the union of 

 the other two. 



The evidence for the existence of these three types is
