of relationship (physical, mental and social) of a heterogeneous 

 people composed of many nationalities, undergoing assimilation, 

 or blending, into a new nationality, as in the United States. 

 Potential nationality includes the familiar census divisions, * native 

 born of native parents,' * native born of foreign parents,' and 

 'foreign born.' K^ is ethnic-race, a group of closely related 

 nationalities, speaking closely related languages, and having 

 well-marked psychological characteristics in common. Examples 

 are, the Celtic ethnic-race, including the Welsh, the Irish, the 

 Highland Scotch, some of the Cornish and the Bretons ; the 

 Teutonic ethnic-race, including Germans, Swedes, Norwegians, 

 Danes and Dutch ; and the Latin ethnic-race, including Italians, 

 Spaniards and Greeks. K^ is glottic race. This is that very 

 broad relationship, to a slight extent physical, to a somewhat 

 greater extent mental and social, of those related ethnic-races 

 that speak languages derived from a common ancient tongue. 

 Examples are, the Aryan glottic race, including the Celtic, Teu- 

 tonic, Latin and other ethnic races ; the Semitic glottic-race, and 

 the Hamitic glottic-race. K^ is chromatic race, that extremely 

 wide and vague relationship, which includes related glottic-races 

 marked by the same color. Examples are, the white chromatic- 

 race, which includes the Aryan, Semitic and Hamitic glottic- 

 races ; the yellow chromatic-race, which includes the various 

 glottic-races known as Mongolian or Turanian ; the brown, the 

 red and the black chromatic-races. K^ is cephalic-race, or 

 that widest relationship which includes chromatic-races of like 

 cephalic index. The distinction about which I feel most doubt 

 is this between chromatic- and cephalic-race. Remembering that, 

 according to this scheme, variability and multiplicity of specific 

 characteristics produced by differentiation, should increase as we 

 proceed backward from K^ to K^, I think that probably cephalic 

 index is rightly placed as K^ and color as K^ because, in the 

 organic world in general, coloring seems to be a less stable char- 

 acteristic than anatomical structure. The compound terms 

 which I have here introduced are admittedly clumsy, but they 

 have the advantage of conveying precise meanings. If a 

 writer speaks of ' race ' without a qualifying word, his reader
