SPANISH ANTHROPOLOGY. 103 



interesting, but inconclusive. Thus he found among his

These variations, it will be observed, are within the 

 possible limits of error, and the more certainly so because 

 an unusually large proportion of the Granada measurements 

 were not taken by the author's own hand. The inferences 

 I should be disposed to draw would be, first, that the cul- 

 tivated class, being the most migratory section of the 

 population, has naturally enough an index equal in both the 

 cities, and identical with that of Spain in general ; second, 

 (and this is Oloriz's view of the matter), that in relation to 

 the kephalic index all agencies are unimportant compared 

 to what we call " race ". 



Following up the same careful method of appreciating 

 all possible influences, he next tabulates the divisions of the 

 population in relation to their geological habitat. The 

 result is distinctly negative.
