From these tables is seen that the headform of the Jews, when 

 compared with the indigenous races of the countries from which 

 they come, shows great similarities. In Galicia, where the 

 cephalic index of the Ruthenians is 83.5, and that of the Poles 

 is 84.4, that of the Jews is 83.33 ; i^ Russian-Poland, where 

 the cephalic index of the Poles is only 80.85 (Elkind) the Jews 

 also are more longheaded, having an average cephalic index of 

 81.75; the same is the case in Lithuania and White-Russia, 

 where the Letts, are longheaded, with a cephalic index of 80.5 

 (Waeber), and even 78.5 according to Talko-Hryncewicz's meas- 

 urements, as are also the Lithuanians, averaging 78.75 (Talko- 

 Hryncewicz, Brennsohn). Here the Jews have an average 

 cephalic index of 81.10." South Russia, where the Little- 

 Russians are predominating in numbers, is another center of 

 brachycephaly, their cephalic index is over 83 on the average, 

 and even 85.61 according to Belodied. ^ The Jews in this 

 region of Russia have an average index of 82.45. In Roumania 

 very few measurements have been taken on the incligenous popu- 

 lation. From Pittard's recent work the Roumanians are seen
