II. Observations on 104 School-children at Vori and at Palaikastro in Crete . 237 

 III. Some Remarks on Dr. Duckworth's Report (Appendix II.) . . . 251 



The Committee have to express their regret that Mr. C. H. Hawes has 

 been prevented by other engagements from carrying out the further 

 programme of work which was foreshadowed in the Committee's report 

 last year. He has, however, made some progress in analysing the 

 observations which he made during his visit to Crete in 1909 (Appen- 

 dix I.), and hopes to be able to submit the remainder of his conclusions 

 to the Committee without much further delay. The Committee, there- 

 fore, ask to be reappointed with a further grant. 



The Committee have received this year a further report from Dr. 

 W. L. H. Duckworth on some of the observations made by him during 

 his journeys in Crete in the year 1903, with comparisons suggested by 

 subsequent journeys in the south of Aragon in Spain. This Report, 

 which forms Appendix II., is an expansion of Section (ii.) of his Special 

 Report (b) presented to the Cretan Committee of the British Associa- 

 tion in 1903 and published in ' Brit. Assoc. Report,' 1903 (Southport), 

 p. 409. 



APPENDIX I. 

 A Report on Cretan Anthropometry. By Charles H. Hawes. 



Since the completion of my last year's expedition to Crete the tabula-

 considerable progress, though not yet complete. Here I deal with 

 the chief measurements only, and those the usual ones, leaving aside 

 for later report the results of a study of the 1,700 sagittal contours 

 of living subjects. 



The total number of living persons measured in the two campaigns 

 of 1905 and 1909, together with 199 measured by Dr. Duckworth in 

 1903, amounts to 3,183. From these must be deducted foreigners, 

 Russians, French, Italians, Armenians, Greeks, Epirots, Albanians, 

 vEgean and Ionian Islanders, and Cretan women and children. A 

 further expurgation has been made in order to simplify, even in the 

 slightest degree, a complex problem, The further omissions comprise
