200 SMITHSONIAN MISCELLANEOUS COLLECTIONS VOL, IIO 



From the distribution curve (bimodal maxima at 162.0 and 166.0 

 for the men and 148.0 and 152.0 for the women) it is possible to 

 assume the presence of two elements, differing in stature; the low 

 element is most sharply pronounced among the southern groups 

 (Aktiubinsk, Baiuly) and is also found among the Kustanai Baiuly 

 and the Jettru. The tall element is most clearly present among the 

 Alimuly, and is also found among the Kustanai Baiuly and the Jettru. 



Cephalic Index 



The overwhelming majority are true brachycephals (85.86 for the 

 men; 86.87 ^o^ the women) with a very small percentage of sub- 

 brachycephals and only an exceptional mesocephal.

Only slight variations were noticed by tribes : the Kipchak males 

 and their neighbors, the Kustanai Baiulys, are less brachycephalic 

 than the other tribal groups. Kharuzin gives the average index of 

 86.28 for the Lesser Horde (brachycephals 82.0 percent; brachy- 

 cephals and subbrachycephals together 96.0 percent). Ivanovskii's 

 Middle Horde Kazakhs (clans Kirei, Naiman, Baidzhigit, and Murun) 

 had an average of 89.39 (91.0 percent brachycephals and 99.0 percent 

 brachycephals and subbrachycephals together). However, Rudenko's 

 Middle Horde Kazakhs (Kipchak clan) averaged 84.53, while 33.33 

 percent of individuals were mesocephalic and subbrachycephalic. No 

 data are available for the Great Horde. , 



Head Breadth 

 The mean head breadth was 160.46 for males.
