NO. 13 SOVIET ANTHROPOLOGY — FIELD 201 



The tabulation of dilTcrences by tribes does not disclose any sizable 

 difference between groups. The Kazakh groups investigated were 

 found to be relatively homogeneous both in head form and in absolute 

 head dimensions. 



Facial Index 



The majority were euryprosopic (men, 80.80, 74.1 percent; women 

 80.77, 77-3 percent). Of men, 18.4 percent, and of women, 16.4 per- 

 cent, were mesoprosopic. Of men, 7.5 percent, and of women, 6.2 

 percent were leptoprosopic. 



While the number of observations is probably not quite sufficient 

 for a positive statement, certain differences in the facial indices of 

 various tribes have been noted. The broadest faces were found among 

 the Kipchaks and the Kustanai Baiulys ; the greatest tendency toward

leptoprosopy and mesoprosopy was observed among the Jettru. On 

 the basis of the distriJjution curve, we can assume among the preva- 

 lently broad-faced Kazakhs an admixture of some mesoprosopic ele- 

 ment. Because of the limited character of the data, this may be 

 definitely shown only in the case of the Aktiubin.'^k Baiuly (men) 

 and Alimuly (women) ; the women as a rule arc more broad-faced 

 than the men. Ivanovskii's observations on facial form on the Middle 

 Horde were made on the basis of the physiognomic index and not 

 the anatomical, as were Rudenko's. Nevertheless, his data do not 

 contradict those of Rudcnko, the great majority of the Middle Horde 

 Kazakhs being euryprosopic, with a very small percentage in the 

 leptoprosopic category, and the women being more broad-faced than 

 the men.
