Mediterranean elements, the Subnordic of the Laponoid and Nordic elements, 

 the Preslav of the Laponoid and Mediterranean elements, the Alpine of the 

 Armenoid and Laponoid elements, the Dinaric of the Armenoid and Nordic 

 elements, lastly the Litoral of the Mediterranean and Armenoid elements. 

 Considering this fact we must ask the following question: "What propor- 

 tion of fundamental elements produces the male population and what the 

 female population?" We assume that a population consisting of the 

 following fundamental elements a, 1, h, e, which have been intermingled 

 with each other becomes a form of equation : 



a 2 -l. p _L. h 2 + e 2 + 2al + 2ah + 2ae + 21h + 21e + 2he= 1 



a 2 , h 2 , l 2 , e 2 , indicate the percentages of fundamental elements and 2al, 2ah, 



TABLE 2 



2ae, 21h, 21e, 2he — the percentages of secondary types. Then we can define 

 the proportions of fundamental elements in our populations (table 2). An 

 examination of this table shows that the columns with the percentages of 

 particular elements in male and female series indicate a great proportion of 

 Nordic elements, a fact, which does not agree especially with the results 

 based upon the exactly examined population of southwestern Poland. 

 There is reason to think, that the emigrant population, especially men, were 

 selected, and that the emigration affects in the first line the Nordic elements, 

 whereas the Armenoid element shows the least tendency to leave the native 

 country. Thus we answer the first of the stated question. 



It is very interesting to observe the respective percentages of the elements 

 of the male and female series born in America as compared with the series of
