ANTHROPOLOGY OF EASTERN EUROPEAN JEWS 235 



It is thus seen that with only one exception, the Russian-Poles, 

 the order is the same among the Jews and non-Jews. Brachy- 

 cephaly, cephalic index 84 and more, is among the Jews in the 

 following order: Lithuania and White-Russia, 18.19 percent; 

 Poland, 22.53; Roumania, 24.67; Galician, 25.91, and Little- 

 Russian, 36.98. Among the non-Jews in these countries the 

 order is as follows: Russian-Poles, 13.72 percent; Letto- 

 Lithuanians, 21.52 ; White- Russians, 25.48 ; Roumania, 38.94 ; 

 Galician-Ruthenians, 38.74, and Poles, 48.88, and finally Little- 

 Russians, 47.1 percent. Here again we find that with the ex- 

 ception of the Polish Jews, the proportion of brachycephaly 

 among the Jews depends on the proportion of persons with 

 such heads among the Gentiles among whom they live. 



Cephalic Index of the Women. 



The average cephalic index of the 435 women was 83.24 — 

 a little wider than that of the men. The maximum was 91.17 

 and the minimum, 71.47 — a difference of 20 units, or 24.09 per- 

 cent of the average ; thus showing a smaller range of extreme 

 individual variation. The maximum diverged from the average 

 by 8 units, 9.63 percent ; and the minimum 12 units, 14.45 

 percent, showing the same tendency of more pronounced varia- 

 bility toward dolichocephaly, which was noted in men. The 

 standard deviation was 3.419, and the probable error o. 1 10618, 

 about the same as in men.^ Classifying the date in classes as 

 was done in the case of the men, we find the following distribu- 

 tion : 



Number. Percent. 



Hyperdolichocelphalic 5 1.15 



Dolichocephalic 21 4.83 



Subdolichocephalic 45 10.34 



Mesocephalic no 25.20 



Subbrachycephalic 103 23.68 



Brachycephalic 82 18.86 



Hyperbrachycephalic 69 15-86 



Total 435 100.00 



iThe larger value of the probable error being due to the fact that the number of 

 women was smaller.
