26 GIUFFRIDA-RUGGERI & CHAKLADAR 



data collected by Stein, gives specially the Wakhi l as a 

 pure element but more or less present in the majority 

 of these peoples closely related to the Galchas ; there- 

 fore the Wakhi are collocated in Table IV beside the 

 v Galchas and the Tajiks : their stature is intermediate 

 between the two. For the ceph. ind. (Table V) we must 

 take note of the fact that Joyce affirms the existence of 

 artificial deformation. Naturally many of these tribes 

 are of mixed Leucodermic and Xanthodermic elements, 

 and therefore we have omitted them, mentioning only a 

 few among the " unclassified," a few of the-.//. A&ii'ic-us 

 and a few of If. Indoenropceus. The sub variety pami- 

 viensis is really related to the so-called H. Alpinus, to the 

 Savoyards, etc., which fact has been misunderstood because 

 of the idea that all of them were Mongoloids. 2 This is so 

 far from the truth, that it is enough to say that they want 

 all those characters that we have previously described as 

 belonging to H. Asiatic f is.

1 We must show respect to the anthropological insight of Ujfalvy who made 

 the same diagnosis about the inhabitants of Wakhan 40 years ago. In Vol. II, 

 p. 156, of the Expedition scient'fique Franraise en Russie en Siberie et dans le Turltistan, 

 he writes that the Sarikols of the Eastern elope of the Pamir represent the pure 

 remnants of the same white type that " has exercised a decisive influence on the 

 formation of the Kashgharinns and the Tarantchi of the present day." While the 

 Kashgharians do not now-a-days show any blonde element (op. cit., Vol. Ill, p. 49) 

 yet we have the blondes among the natives of Siricol ; this is to be placed in con- 

 nection with the description given in the Chinese Annals of the inhabitants of Lake 

 Lob, the Usun, who had blor.de hair and blue eyes (op. cit., Vol. I, p. 169). It ig 

 very probable that at that time also only a minority of the white had such prominent 

 characters as the depigmentation, which attracted so strongly the attention of all the 

 brown peoples: c/. DE U.TFALVY (Ch.), Les Aryens, etc., op. cit., p. 26, note 1. 



2 This preconceived idea is the thesis so strongly upheld by SERGI (G.), Gti Ar'n 

 in Europe e in Asia, Turin, 1903, pp. 128, 133, against the theory of Ujfalvy who 

 did not at all think that the Savoyards are Mongoloids. Notwithstanding the insis- 

 tence of Sergi it is a theory completely rejected : cf. MENDES CORREA (A. A.), 

 Eatudos de Elnogenia Purtoguesa (ci&nios braquicepliolos). " Anais Scient. Fac. Med."
