for Javanese (17), Banjerese (33) and Sundanese (37), as no other 

 series includes more than 7 individuals. 



Joyce ' has given figures for 25 different groups of people of 

 Chinese Turkestan and the Pamirs. But again the total number 

 is rather small in most cases, even the longest series including only 

 67 individuals. 



Leys and Joyce ' 2 gave measurements for 38 different groups 

 of people from East Africa. Some of these are foreigners. Num- 

 bers are moderately large in some cases, the longest series contain- 

 ing 384 individuals. 



Seligmann 3 has given measurements for 7 groups of people 

 of Anglo-Egyptian Sudan. The number in each group is moder- 

 ately large, being on an average about 50. Dr. Bowley has 

 analysed the Dinka group containing 116 individuals. The abso- 

 lute S.D. (9-66 mm.) as well as the coefT. of variation (5*4311) is ex- 

 ceptionally high. Dr. Bowely 4 concludes from the goodness of fit 

 that " there is no indication of the mixture of two distinct groups 

 with widely differing averages." 5 



Frankly speaking, such a high value of V as 5*4311 + -24 for 

 homogeneous material is extremely puzzling. We have of course 

 obtained several high values of V, but in all such cases the num- 

 bers are quite small and the P.E. quite large. One would like to 

 obtain independent evidence regarding the homogeneity of the 

 I )inka people. In any case, a fresh series of measurements of the 

 Dinka people is urgently needed. 



Goring " has given extensive data for English criminals, to 

 which we shall have to refer again. 



Whiting 7 has discussed the case of 500 English convicts be- 

 longing to Dr. Goring's data. 



Orensteen B gave results for 802 adult male Egyptians born in 

 Cairo. 



Addendum 



Dudley Buxton has recently published the Variabilities of ro 

 Mediterranean and 3 Jewish races. u
