The principal available data for comparison of the measurements 

 are gathered in the following tables. The first of these shows the 

 close relations of the Kharga natives with the Copt, Fellaheen and 

 the non-negro Nubian; the second demonstrates the important dif- 

 ferences between the Oasis men and the Nubian, Soudanese and the 

 other negroes.
