NO. 13 SOVIET ANTHROPOLOGY — HELD I9I 



This peculiar combination of traits among the Kazakhs forces us 

 to answer the query regarding the identicity of Turko-Mongohan 

 tribes in the negative. 



Tlius, lArkho finds two basic types, and one mixed type. He 

 attempts by coml)ining forehead, hps, nose, and face form (Saian, 

 rounded and round-oval ; Altaian, oval and rectangular) to divide 

 them by morphological characters, and finds five such combinations.

The supplementary types in the Kazaklis may include, theoretically, 

 the Ugrian and the Samoycd, as supposed by Aristov. Without any 

 doubt there should be included the brachy cephalic Europeoid type, 

 wiiich lArkho calls Pamiro-Ferghan, of the Tajiks and which is more 

 fre(|ucntly found among the western Kazaklis and the Kirghiz. 



The Mongolian type is called provisionally the "Saianic," '' indi- 

 cating by tins a complex of descriptive characters distinctive from the 

 "Altaic." 



Altaic Type 



Kharuzin pointed out the Europeoidal (Caucasian) character of 

 this type. The following facts may be adduced in support of this 

 position : 



1. Large admixture of depigmented eyes, especially if wc eliminate 

 the darker Saianic eyes. 



2. Slight intensification of tertiary hair covering, i.e., beard. 



'" lArkho al.'^o describes a "Saianic" variant of the Central Asiatic racial type 

 among the Tannu-Tuvans from Kcmchik.
