10. In general, the cranial capacity of the Pueblo skull and hence 

 the size of the brain, does not appear favorable. This is especially 

 true in some of the groups. This showing in part, but not entirely, is 

 connected with the moderate stature of the people (m. average males, 

 163.7; females, 151.5 cm.; A. H.). The absolute measurements in 

 general indicate that the Pueblos, or at least a majority of them, 

 were a somewhat weakened group.

11. The affinities of the Pueblos are a matter of considerable in- 

 terest to American anthropology. The present material, though not 

 all that could be wished for, appears sufficient for some indications.
