smaller groups. In seriating these doubtful types of hair form in the summary, I 

 alternately placed one of these in the lower class and one in the upper class. In 

 obtaining averages of grouj^is based on hair form, it seemed best to exclvide the 

 data marked "doubtful." The averages for the anthropometric characters in these 

 four groups will be found in Table \^III.

There are no consistent differences between the straight-haired and the 

 low-waved groups. But in the groups containing the persons with deeply waved, 

 curly, frizzly, and woolly hair we notice that the averages again point in the direc- 

 tion of Melanesia. The faces are lower and narrower, the noses are lower and 

 wider, the average cephalo-facial index is lower and the nasal index is higher. 



Emphasizing, then, more the nature than the magnitude of the difference, 

 I am inclined to belicA-e that in those traits in which the Tongans differ from the 

 Samoans the dift'erences mav probablv be attributed to Melanesian intermixture.
