we see (fig. 2), as was to be expected, that they are all rather near 
to each other, and that the greater part of the figure remains 
unused. The place that the skulls occupy, is shown in the figure 
by a broad outline; the rest of the triangle we omit, and draw the 
place itself with larger measurements; this was the case in fig. 3. 
Here we see in an equilateral triangle at regular spaces from 
each other, 38 lines parallel to the basis. 
The basis is marked with 75 MZ; each of the lines with a higher 
number and the top with 115 H; these are the measuring lines 
for the height. 
We draw lines parallel to QÀ for the relative breadth, marked 
80 B to 120 B; in a similar way we draw lines for the relative 
length parallel to RS, marked 105 ZL to 145 ZL. 
To facilitate this matter, the same radii given in fig. 2 are also 
given in fig. 3. The lines of this figure can serve for a great num- 
ber of skulls. 
On a rather large scale I applied this method for the first time on: 
„Eine anthropologisch-historische Studie über siebenhundert Schädel 
aus den elsdssischen Ossuarién von Dr. Med. Epmunp BLIND.” 
Of the 701 skulis, that this list contains, 164 were deducted, 
because by all these, the three measurements were not shown. Of 
the remaining 537 the relative measurements were calculated accu- 
rately to a decimal and the points were indicated, as is shown in 
fig. 4; these are printed on transparent paper and agree with the 
lines, shown in fig. 3. 
The points are drawn in their exact place, but so, that, where 
two points come partly or wholly together, this is avoided, by the 
points being drawn next to one another. 
On consideration, we soon notice, that there is a certain centre 
of accumulation perceptible, limited by 84 H — 89 H and 
96 B —99 B, round which the points, slightly running out in all 
directions, are grouped. 
It is also my intention to draw diagrams of other Jarge groups 
of skulls and to subject them to a similar comparison.
