ANTHROPOLOGY OF EASTERN EUROPEAN JEWS

know, there is here represented more than one half a dozen 

 races, each of which taken by itself can not be considered free 

 from foreign elements to any extent. 



The head-form of the Eastern European Jews, when studied 

 en masse, is consequently not a safe criterion as to their racial 

 purity. Even if they had intermarried, clandestinely or openly, 

 in centuries bygone or in modern times, with their Slavic neigh-

bors in Eastern Europe, we can not expect that the foreign 

 blood thus infused should be evident in the study of their 

 cranial type. The differences, if any are to be discerned, are 

 too small to be felt by the calipers and tape to an extent as to 

 show any characteristics in the cephalic index. 



It may therefore be presumed that the only method which 

 promises to give more or less satisfactory results is the applica- 

 tion of the comparative study of the head-form of the Jews with
