2. The Semitic Type.—The face is long, usually the head also ; nose straight, long 
and heavy ; mouth big, lips coarse, chin heavy, but neither angular nor prominent. 
3. The Pseudo-Nordic : Philistine Type.—The features are small, nose and brow 
often in a continuous line, the former straight and generally short, chin well developed, 
not heavy. The characteristic of the face is the refinement and sub-angularity of all 
features, contrasting with the ‘roundedness’ of the Armenoid and being almost 
indistinguishable from the ‘ squareness ’ or ‘ angularity ’ of the Nordic. 
The outstanding characteristics of facial differences are ‘roundedness’ and 
‘ angularity,’ and these are found to react genetically as a pair of Mendelian 
allelomorphs. 
The angularity of the Nordic is dominant to the rounded Armenoid Jewish type. 
This latter is, however, dominant to the Pseudo-Nordic or Philistine type. The 
occurrence of this type amongst Jews is, therefore, not due to infusion by Nordie 
blood. The Pseudo-Nordic represents the Aigean Philistine of Mediterranean race. 
32. Mr. Harotp Peake.—Distribution Maps of Archeological Remains. 
Distribution maps are no new development. In 1903 a Commission was appointed 
in Germany to catalogue bronze implements, and Dr. Lissauer published their results 
with maps in the ‘ Zeitschrift fir Ethnologie’ between 1904 and 1907; but the work 
was not completed. 
Attention was drawn to the subject in 1911, and in 1912 Mr. Crawford read 
a paper on Bronze-age settlements in Britain. In the following year I communicated a 
similar paper on the Rhone Valley, and the Section appointed a Committee to report 
on the distribution of bronze implements in the British Isles. The Committee under- 
took to compile an illustrated card catalogue of the metal objects of the Bronze Age in 
British collections; 11,000 cards are filed and the survey of England and Wales is 
nearly complete. 
The Ordnance Survey has now produced an admirable map on the scale of one to 
a million, showing physical features only. This is an excellent basis for distribution 
maps, like that of Roman Britain, recently compiled by Mr. Crawford, who is 
producing maps on a larger scale of long barrows and other megaliths. 
33. Mr. D. TatBor Rice.—The Arabs of Kish. 
While with the Oxford Field Expedition to Kish, I was able to make some few 
observations on the modern inhabitants of the region around Hillah. The people are 
of a type common over the North Arabic world, essentially the same whether among 
‘he nomad Bedouin or settled Arabs. The skin is of a medium brown colour, never 
sooty except where Negro admixture has taken place. The hair is dark, thick and 
wavy. The eyes are a dark shiny brown, the nose usually mesorrhine, and the lips 
of medium thickness. The jaws are strong and heavy, but there is seldom any con- 
siderable prognathism. The stature is usually medium, but observations show a 
range similar to that of Duckworth’s Eurasian group. The heads are normally 
dolicho-cephalic, frequently meso-cephalic, but seldom brachycephalic. The general 
build is on the light side, but ranges from stout to thin. 
The ancient, as well as the modern inhabitants, seem to be ‘ Semites,’ members of 
the widespread Mediterranean group of peoples, called perhaps more aptly by Elliot 
Smith, the Brown race.
