men. A glance at Table XXII and the curve on diagram 5 

 shows again the phenomenon observed when the length of the 

 head was considered. The apex of the curve for the women 

 rises much higher than that for the men — nearly 18 percent 

 had heads 147-148 mm. wide, and 17 percent 149-150 mm. 

 The curve in general is much narrower, and quite smooth. 

 jj percent of all observations lie within a range of 10 mm. — 

 between 143 and 154 mm. This of course points to a great 

 uniformity of type.

According to their nativity, the Jewesses show an almost uni- 

 form width of the head, as is seen from Table XXIII. The 

 immigrant Jewesses have on the average wider heads than the 

 Jewesses in eastern Europe. Thus, the Jewesses in Galicia 

 average 143 mm. (Majer and Kopernicki) in width, while the 

 immigrant Jewesses from that country measured i 5 i mm. ; the 

 Polish Jewesses in the United States average in the width of the
