TRANSACTIONS OF SECTION H. 657 
700 subjects have been observed, 100 of these being women. The county has 
been divided into three districts, and a special study made of the central division, 
bounded on the east by the moors above Tregaron, and on the north by the hills 
just south of the Ystwyth and Wyre. The following preliminary analysis of this 
district will be of interest, the grouping being purely experimental :— 
(a) Average height, 1693 mm. Average cephalic index, 76:1. Hair and 
eyes darker than medium brown. Face long and narrow. The group may per- 
haps be provisionally connected with Homo mediterraneus. 
(6) Average height, 1682 mm., but with a wide range of variation. Average 
cephalic index, 78°2. Hair and eyes fair, reddish hair and blue eyes being a typical 
combination. The group may provisionally be identified with the ‘ Northern Race,’ 
except that stature is low. 
(c) Average height, 1680 mm. Cephalic index, 81. Hair medium brown and 
darker. Eyes grey or brown. i 
(d) Moderately tall. Fair. Cephalic indices as in (4), but grading into the 
other groups, 
9. The Cephalic Indices and the computed Stature of the Pagan Saxons in 
East Yorkshire. By J. R. Mortimer. 
The data on which the paper was based were collected in various burial-grounds 
of the mid-wolds of Yorkshire. The series of interments may be considered as 
fairly representing the Anglo-Saxons of the district. Of the sixty-one skeletons 
examined thirty-one were dolichocephalic, with an average cephalic index of 72°3 
and with a mean computed stature of 5 feet 53 inches, Seven were brachycephalic, 
with an average index of 81:1 anda stature of 5 feet 4 inches. Twenty-three 
were wesaticephalic, with an index of 77 anda stature of 5 feet 3} inches. It 
therefore seems clear that the long-headed people were taller than those with 
short heads.
