shorter in children than in grown-up people. According to the 

 measurements of Søren Hansen on the West-Greenlanders their 

 nether extremities are slightly developed, if anything, but still 

 not so short as might be expected. 



Their relative length seems to be smaller in the East- 

 Greenlanders. This appears partly from the general remarks 

 on this circumstance in Søren Hansen's : Bidrag til Østgrøn- 

 lændernes Anthropologi, partly from my measurements. 



The hands and feet of the East-Greenlanders are practically 

 always remarkably small and well-formed. 



As to the form of head and face my measurements are 

 very consistent with the former in hand, as may be seen from 

 the comparison undernoted. The main race-character of the 

 head is its breadth-index, the proportion between its greatest 

 breadth and greatest length. It stands thus:
