and V) was about as different from the Iberian as one white man could 

 be from another^ being a giant in size and strength, with yellow hair 

 and blue eyes, ruddy complexion, and a large, round head not high, 

 but with beetling brows. The intermingling of these two extreme types 

 of the white race has resulted in the Celt-Iberian (Pis. IV and VI), 

 who is in nearly every measurable feature intermediate between the Celt 

 and Iberian as they originally existed, but with the coal black hair of 

 the Iberian and the blue or gray eyes of the Celt. Hair color and 

 eye color are evidently separate characters, as they have not blended, 

 and may follow Mendel's laws. 



When the Celt overspread Europe, and came to England and mingled 

 with the Iberian, the Celt-Iberian, or Blend No. 1, was formed. This 

 formation represents the hybrid. The Iberian and the Celt reappeared 

 in succeeding- generations, but in time became more and more alike, 

 until at present the differences are slight, as is shown by the measure- 

 ments of the two types. The Celt-Iberian has continued and to-day 

 represents the hybrid of the two existing tyjDes, the Celt and the Iberian. 

 The ISTorthem and Iberian came together at a later period in the same 

 manner and formed the Blend No. 2 or Northern-Iberian. The Celt and 

 the Northern type must have mingled and some of those included under 

 the Northern type are undoubtedly the hybrid Celtic-Northern. The 

 Iberian is, then, approaching and becoming like two types, the Northern 

 and the Celt, which is apparent from the physical resemblance of the 

 three. The Saxon and the Alpine may be considered as blends of the 

 Celt and Iberian with a preponderance of the Celt, as in the Celt-Iberian 

 there is a preponderance of the Iberian. The Littoral (PL VII) and 

 Adriatic are distinct types as much as the Northern, Celt and Iberian, 

 and probably represent the modernized Cro-Magnon and Neanderthal 

 man. They are modified by the three other types, all of which have some 

 of the characteristics of these two primitive ones, some more than others, 

 the Northern partaking largely of the Neanderthal, the Iberian, of the 

 Cro-Magnon. There is a progressive fusion of all the types going on at 

 the present time, with a persistence, more or less pure, in a few in- 

 dividuals of some features of the primitive types. The Northern, 

 Iberian, Littoral, and Blend No. 3, have the height, head length, and 

 tendency to a hypsistenocej)halic condition resembling the type of the 

 Cro-Magnon, Laugerie and Chancelede man of the late paleolitic or 

 Magdalenian epoch in Europe, or of the men from the grottoes of Gri- 

 maldi; all of these ancient remains being characterized by similar fea- 

 tures. The Littoral has preserved more definitely the original composite 

 traits, while the others have blended them with their intrinsic character- 

 istics. The Adriatic and the Northern have the brow ridges, the big 

 bone and muscular development and the shape of the sagittal outline
