In the course of an expedition to the Maldive Islands and 
Minikoi, Professor J. Stanley Gardiner, F.R.S., collected a number 
of anthropometric data. ‘These he handed to me, and they form 
the material upon which the following report is based. 
1. The total number of individuals examined is 69. All are 
males. Of the 69, 20 are Minikoi men, while of the remainder 
24 are from Addu Atoll. Other islets of the Maldive group 
supply a few representatives each. The complete list is as follows: 
Island No. of individuals measured 
Minikoi 20 (caste is said to be of little moment). 
Maldives: Addu 24 (in 4 sets according to caste). 
Male 11 (in 3 sets according to caste). 
Hulule 9 
Kaharidu 1 
N. Mahlos 1 
Mulaku 1 
Nolewangfaro 2 
Total 69 
2. Professor Gardiner records 13 measurements of each of these 
men. In addition to these data, five indices have been worked 
out. In preparing the list of the mean values and the range of 
variation I have been greatly aided by Dr Poole, of Sidney Sussex 
College. Dr Poole intended to prepare the whole of the report, 
but the claims of professional work made it necessary for him to 
hand the material back to me when he had nearly completed the 
determination (previously begun by me) of the means, the maximum 
and minimum values. As a result of all this, I am able to deal 
with the data re-arranged in the following list: 
A. 
I. Stature. | VII. Face breadth. 
I]. Height seated, 2.e. height | VIII. Bigonial breadth. 
of torso. IX. Nose length. 
III. Cephalic length. X. Nose breadth. 
IV. Cephalic breadth. XI. Cephalic height. 
V. Face length. XII. Cranial height. 
VI. Upper face length. XIII. Circumference of head.
