and dimensions. They are of dolichocephalic form, bat extraordina- 

 rily large, principally above the ears, with the parietal tuberosities 

 largely developed, the occipital protuberance very projecting, and 

 altogether of considerable volume. 



I have introduced the Hellenes into my enumeration of the doli- 

 chocephala? of Europe. My reasons for this were elsewhere given 

 in 1847.* Nevertheless, according to all the facts that I have able to 

 collect, the dolichocephalic form has never appertained to the ma- 

 jority of the Greek nation, which presents, on the contrary, the char- 

 acters of the brachycephala?. The brachycephalic form appertains 

 to the Greek Sclaves, as well as to the majority of the Levantines and 

 of the Pelasgi, the Albanians of the present day. In the paper before 

 cited I have already drawn attention to the fact that certain antique 

 statues, such as those of the Apollo, the Venus, and others of the 

 most noble character, pertain to the dolichocephalic type, while 

 others, like those of the Jupiter and Hercules, are brachycephalic; 

 which differences result, no doubt, from the difference of the races to 

 which the individuals belonged whom the artist wished to represent.
