REPORT — 1897. 



None of the people in the neighbourhood of Barrington and Foxton 

 had projecting cheek-bones ; the ratio, however, between lengtli and 

 breadth of face varied widely, as seen under the Facial Indices in the 

 table. 



The complexion varied, 15 being ruddy, 5 dark, and 4 pale ; dark hair 

 predominated, 10 individuals possessing it of that shade, 9 brown, 1 red, 

 and 3 fair. 



The colour of the eyes was chiefly liglit : 7 blue, 6 light grey, 2 light 

 brown, 5 green, 3 dark grey, and 1 dark brown. 



Lips were mostly of medium thickness, 4, however, having thin and 

 2 thick lips. 



Height of men variable, from 1,533 to 1,744 mm. 



The cephalic index would show by itself that the people are a very 

 mixed production, and this is corroborated by the rest of the indices. 



From a cursory study of the table, it seems impossible to separate the 

 people into any series of types, or to determine any common type. 



Photographs of most of the individuals accompany the table, along 

 with further details not mentioned above.
