HACIAL STRUCTURE OF THE FINNS

very mixed, liave round heads witli an average index ol 85,:.. Lap])s 

 of pure race certainly have a still higher average index. Ma.nteg.vzza 

 and Sommier thus state (in Studii antropologici sui Lap|)()ni, Firenze 

 1880) that grown-up Mountain-Lapps of male sex to a number of 64 

 showed an average cephalic index of 87,ii. The minimum was 82, 

 the maximum 95. The Finns are also a short-skulled race, although 

 luning a smaller index (average index 82,2). The Swedes, on the

contrary, have somewhat longer heads (average index 78,5). If per- 

 sons with an index number above 84 are counted as Lapps (i. e. as 

 Lappic race-component), those having an index between 80 and 84 

 as Finns, and the rest with an index number below 80 as Swedes of 

 Nordic race, it is seen from the diagrams 4, 5 and 6, made by the 

 guidance of these index numbers, that there is a great correspondence 

 between these diagrams and the diagrams of the colour of eyes. These 

 diagrams also show that Lappie head-measures (indexes) are found in 

 about two-thirds of the Lapps and in about one-third of the Finns.
