We see from these figures that the short men measured 

 around their heads 2.08 cm. more' than would be expected if 

 their heads were proportionately as large as the average of all 

 the Jews measured, is to the average stature. On the other 

 hand, the tall men had heads 2.51 cm. shorter theoretically 

 expected. 



There is practically no difference in the absolute and relative 

 circumference of the head in the Jews from various countries 

 in eastern Europe, as is to be seen from the following figures:

Measurements taken on Jews in Eastern Europe agree closely 

 with our results, the circumference of the head is about 55 to 

 56 cm. on the average. It should be noted also that the same 

 is about the average of the non-Jewish races in this region of 

 Europe.
