REPORTS ON THE STATE OP SCIENCE. 



were marked in this respect, though the female head seems rather more 

 brachycephalic. One girl, however (No. 6), having an index of 94"9, 

 has had a very appreciable effect in raising the average of this series of 

 twenty-five individuals. 



VI. Before passing from the consideration of this index, I would 

 remark that in eleven girls (out of twenty-five) the maximum length of 

 the head will be found actually between an ophryonic point and an 

 occipital point. The same occurrence was noted in the boys (cf. p. 247). 

 The indices here employed have been based on the glabeilo-occipital 

 length. But if we employ the real maximum in the cases in which it 

 was not glabeilo-occipital, we can calculate a cephalic index which will 

 clearly provide lower numerical (i.e., more dolichocephalic) results than 

 those just described. For this purpose I have data from the following 

 groups : — 



Table VIII. — Cephalic Index, calculated not from the glabeilo-occipital 

 length, hut from the maximum length, even when this is measured 

 high above the glabello, the forehead being then bombe, as the French 

 writers describe it. 



Group 



(a) Boys at Vori 

 (6) Girls at Vori 



(c) Cretan boys in general 



(d) Boys at Talaikastro . 



The similarity between boys and girls at Vori, and the independent 

 position of the Palaikastro (i.e., eastern) group come out here very 

 clearly. 



The final tables include the whole of the detailed data whence the 

 foregoing summaries have been made. I have also appended a list of 

 the names of the individuals. The chief interest herein will lie in the 

 search for names suggestive of a Venetian or other exotic provenance. 

 Dr. Gerola provides a long list of the names of the Venetian families of 

 Crete. 1 Looking through my list and that of Dr. Gerola, I find very 

 few names in my collection capable of being claimed as Venetian. Of 

 the boys, No. 23, Frangoulakis, may represent Dr. Gerola 's family, 

 Franco; and Kondourakis may be derived from Contarini. Nos. 30, 35, 

 42, 49, and 53 all bear the name Zorzakakis; this almost certainly 

 represents the family Zorzi, mentioned by Dr. Gerola, No. 48a. 

 Zangarakis may represent the name Zangarol. The girls provide no 

 other names needing mention here.
