258 REPORTS ON THE STATE OF SCIENCE.—1912. 
The similarity of the records from Crete to those from the Canary 
Islands is remarkable. 
Part [V.—The Physical Characteristics of Modern Greeks. 
This report is an extension of section (d) of my Report to the Cretan 
Committee in 1903. The material there described consists of measure- 
ments made on 100 individuals in the Reformatory at Athens. Of these 
individuals, one was a Cretan: this necessitates his exclusion here. In 
another instance, the measurements are not complete as to number. 
In consequence the available data are derived from 99, or in some 
cases 98 individuals. 
In 1903 a very brief abstract of the results was submitted. On the 
present occasion I amplify the earlier notes by the results summarised 
in the two tables appended. 
A. Comparative Lists of Physical Characteristics of Greek Reformatory ; 
Youths and Modern Cretans. 
A. These tables give results expressed as percentages: the observa- 
tions are tabulated with the corresponding data for adult Cretans. The 
latter are much more numerous than the Greeks: they were measured 
by myself in 1903, but were not included in my report of that year. 
I ought to mention in this place that as regards Crete, and perhaps as 
regards Greece also, Mr. Hawes must possess material incomparably 
greater than mine. But even though the publication of those more 
extensive investigations may lead to modifications of my results, I take 
the view that, since they are not yet published, I ought to report with- 
out further delay to the Committee on the task committed to me.
