Deniker did not proceed otherwise when fixing the 

 stature and cephalic index (with the nasal index he did 

 not trouble himself) of the Nordic, Alpine, Dinaric, Ibero- 

 insular and the other races of Europe, nor has a better 

 method been yet found for the identification of such races ; 

 be that said to the honour of our lamented colleague. 



Among the Xanthoderms, the lowest stature is found 

 among the Palseo-arctic people in a wide sense, who 

 make up the largest part of the Siberians ; specially the 

 brachy morphus sub-variety presents the minimum stature, 

 but it is characterised besides by brachycephaly and some 

 other characters that are not found in the Summary, 

 that is to say, by platycephalism. In fact, Rudenko 

 writes with regard to the Ostyaks of the Yenissei : " Like 

 the Samoyeds and the Soiots they have very low crania 

 of the individuals are chamae-cephalic)" 1 He
