excluded the stature of 14 Hebrews of Palestine which is 

 too low, probably because of the smallness of the series.

First of all we have to explain the rise in the ceph. 

 ind. which is found in the Indo-Iranian variety, a rise that 

 seems a little in contradiction to the systematic position 

 of this variety. Analogous to what we see in Tuscany, 

 where besides the brachycephals and the dolichocephals 

 there exists a most remarkable proportion of a middle type 

 perhaps a product of convergence from intermixtures for 

 thousands of years of the other two similarly also in 

 Iran and in Beluchistan (cf. Table VI) we have a type 

 which by a little extension we may continue to assign to 

 H. Indo-enropceus dolicho /, orphus, but which in reality 

 is on the border line between mesaticephals and brachy- 

 cephals, sometimes more inclined towards the latter than 

 the former. To save ourselves from the blame of reason- 

 ing upon averages, we say that many Pamirian brachy- 

 cephals ought to be recognised individually, exactly as in 



1 Not considered here. H. Indoeuropxus has no linguistic significance but rather 

 that of H. albus or U. occidentalis.
