present map is constructed by different districts, so that we can 

 not compare valley with valley, as it would be most profitable 

 to do. We have to be content with more general results. For 

 purposes of orientation we have reproduced upon this sketch the 

 rivers shown upon our map in the preceding paper, so that certain 

 comparisons may be drawn. We have already seen that the lower 

 Inn Valley (uppermost in our map) was a main channel of Teu- 

 tonic immigration into a primitively broad-headed Alpine coun- 

 try by race. On the south up the Adige Valley by Trient came 

 the second intrusive element in the long-headed brunette Medi-

 these with its proper quota of stature ; for the environment is 

 quite uniform, considered as in this map by large districts cover- 

 ing valley and mountain alike. Each area contains all kinds of 

 territory ; so that we are working by topographical averages, so 

 to speak. Moreover, the whole population is agricultural, saving 

 a few domestic industries in the western half. Such differences as 

 arise must be therefore in large measure due to race. The regular 

 transition from the populations at the northeast, with generally 

 a majority of the men taller than five feet seven inches, to the
