ANTHROPOLOGY OF EASTERN EUROPEAN JEWS 



231 



In Table XXVII (on page 228) is given the cephalic index of 

 the Jews according to their nativity. The differences in the 

 averages are \ery slight : the Galician Jews have an average 

 cephalic index of 83.33, ^vhile the Lithuanian and Amerian 

 Jews have only 8 1.05, the other groups, about S2. When com- 

 pared with the Jews in Eastern Europe, we find that the head- 

 form is about the same as in the immigrants, with one slight 

 exception to be noted when they are compared in groups repre- 

 senting the various types of headform. This has been done in 

 Table XXVIII for the Polish, Lithuanian and Little-Russian 

 Jews. For the rest there is no literature available, the present 

 being the first measurements reported of Roumanian and Hun- 

 garian Jews.

A comparison of the immigrant Jews from Galicia, with those 

 in their native country (from Majer and Kopernicki's measure- 

 ments) is here given :

From these tables we see that the proportion of dolichocephalic 

 individuals, with a cephalic index less than yS is larger in the 



1 The figures for the Eastern European Jews have been taken from the works of 

 the following authors : Elkind, for the Polish Jews ; Stieda, Talko-Hryncewicz, 

 and Yakowenko, for the Lithuanian and White- Russian Jews ; Weissenberg and 

 Talko-Hryncewicz for the Little- and South Russian Jews.
