64 Anthropological Investigations. 



I will not make many remarks about the above figures. The 

 American children, notwithstanding the many physically inferior 

 individuals among them, occupy the highest average position. Only 

 next to them are the Irish, and the Germans follow very closely. 

 The Russian Jews and the Syrians are physically the most inferior 

 of the children. 



Among the few single remarkable facts are (a) the unevenness of 

 the relations of the weight and force of the children of the different 

 nationalities; (b) the disproportion between the circumference of 

 the head and the width of the forehead in Irish children; (c) a dis- 

 proportion in the same figures, but of opposite nature with the 

 Russian Jews ; (d) the highest weight with a second-class height and 

 fourth-class force in the Germans ; (e) the height of the head in the 

 Syrians. 



According to the preceding figures the American and the Irish 

 children are the tallest; the Germans are the heaviest; the Americans 

 are the most powerful ; the Irish children have the largest circumfer- 

 ence of the head, but at the same time the smallest width of the 

 forehead, while the forehead is widest in the Russian Jews and the 

 Italians; in the height of the head the first place belongs to the 

 Syrians.
