ground as two male skulls, one with a capacity of 2100 cc., 

 and the other 1250 cc. The large skull was probably that of 

 a hydrocephalous individual; and the female skull, that of 

 an idiot. They were collected by Finsch. This goes to show 

 how great individual variations may be even in the same 

 savage race. The three were all of the same type and con- 

 temporaneous. 



Cephalic index. The male crania are, each and all, dolicho- 

 cephalic, with an average index of 70 (range 67.4 to 75). The 

 female crania are dolichocephalic, with the exception of a single 

 case of hyperdolichocephaly, having an average index of 72.5 

 (range 69.5 to 77.2). The appended table will show the length- 

 breadth index to be very uniform in Neu Pommern and Mioko: 



Frontal diameter. Broca's Stephanie diameter is no longer 

 employed by the French school; they having substituted the 

 maximum frontal which is the greatest diameter of the frontal 

 bone wherever found; this coincides very closely with the 

 Stephanie breadth. The average maximum frontal diameter 

 for the eleven male skulls is 108.7 mm., the extremes being 

 116 mm. and 106 mm., respectively. The average for the 

 eight female skulls is 104 mm. (extremes 108 and 98). The 

 average minimum frontal diameter in the male series is 93.2 

 mm. (range 98 to 89); while that in the female series is 90.2 

 mm. (range 95 to 81.5). 



Eight out of ten male crania have a greater vertical or 

 length-height index than cephalic (the two exceptions being 

 Nos. 11622 and 11615). In other words, the height is greater
