The first step was to separate the skulls as far as possible 

 according to sex and then to endeavour to ascertain whether the 

 differences in dimension between the two groups were such as to 

 justify the classification which had been adopted. As regards the 

 Strandloopers, this separation was somewhat difficult owing to the 

 small numbers available, so that the results were compared with 

 a similar division of the skulls of Bushmen and Hottentots previously 

 examined by the present writer. Nine dimensions were chosen for 

 investigation and the results compared in the adjoining table. The 

 Standard Deviation of the Strandlooper skulls has been omitted 

 owing to there being no more than six female skulls available.
