On this Table XXIII. I have to remark first that the range of 
variation in the Ionian islands is very striking. As regards the mean 
value of the cephalic index, the similarity between the figures for the 
mainland and those for Eubcea are noteworthy. In a previous section 
of this report (Part I., p. 4) I suggested that the investigation of 
Kubcea would be instructive, particularly were a search instituted for 
the type of head described as ‘ armenoid.’ When I made that recom- 
mendation I had not undertaken the analysis given in Table XXIII. 
But that analysis provides some confirmation (slight, it is true) of the 
validity of my suggestion. Thus two of the four records from Eubcea 
(Nos. 169 and 170) have indices above 85, i.e., are markedly brachy- 
cephalic, and the heads are moreover short rather than broad (the 
lengths being respectively 179 and 181). In each instance the age of 
twenty-one years had been attained, so that the full dimensions of 
the cranium had been nearly acquired. In the absence of any head- 
contours I am unable to press this claim further. 
Returning to other points in Table XXIII., the high degree of 
brachycephaly in the island of Spetzai is worth notice. There are but 
two records. They may serve to show the difficulty of basing any 
argument on such a small number of observations. The mean value 
of the index is 84°4. It is claimed that Spetzai is the site of an 
Albanian colony. This might seem to explain the high mean value 
just recorded, and no doubt it actually does so. But the mean index 
(84°4) is derived from the indices 81°7 and 87°1. The latter should 
provide (according to Mr. Hawes’ view) measurements indicative of 
a head of no great length, but very broad. Actually the measurements 
whence the index in question (87°1) is derived were, for length 178 mm. 
and for breadth 155 mm. The individual presents us, therefore, with 
the length characteristic of the armenoid head, combined with the 
breadth deemed indicative of the dorian (illyrian) type. If the age of 
the man be inquired into, the anomalous condition is cleared up to a 
large extent, for the age was but sixteen years. The head in question 
has (I hope) grown by now to its full size. If we allow 5 mm. in 
addition to the length (for the fully formed frontal sinuses), and 2 mm. 
be added to the breadth, the resulting values are for length 183 and 
for breadth 157 (the index becoming 85°7), which brings the head close 
to Mr. Hawes’ estimate for Albanians.?*
