that of the races among which they have Hved for a longer time 

 in given locahties. If we find that the shape of the head is the 

 same in every country, notwithstanding the differences displayed 

 in this regard by the non-Jewish races in these localities, then 

 we may of course see in this a good argument in favor of the 

 purity of the race, and the absence of any serious intermixture 

 of foreign blood. But if, on the other hand, we find that wher- 

 ever the head of the non-Jewish population is broader or longer, 

 the Jews also display this characteristic ; then the only cause to 

 be assigned for this phenomenon is, at the present state of our 

 knowledge, the admixture of foreign racial elements.
