This table proves that the hands are not "ùbermàszig gross" as HAGEN [1905, 22] 

 says; MEYER [1874, 97] and SCHELLONG [1891] already pointed this out, DE CLERCQ [1889b, 

 1669] even calls the hands small ; in fact, form (see also Maclay [1873a, 243]) and size as 

 shown by fig. 8 of PL XXX, are quite ordinary. A relative shortness of the female hand 

 (FRITSCH [1899, 161], MaNOUVRIER [1902, 80]) is wanting hère; N os . 41 and 42, boys of 12 

 and 14 years resp. show the quicker growth of the upper arm as compared with that of the 

 forearm and hand, common to this period of life (see HALL [1895, 35]). The length-breadth 

 index with H.B. maies is 44.2, females 43.7, with Lake Sentâni maies 43.8. In ail hands the 

 3 rd finger was longer than the index; with the Jabim they are generally (?) equal (SCHELLONG 

 [1891, 168]). 



The humero-radial index is fairly high, in Humboldt Bay in the case of maies 

 82.4, of females 83.2, with maie Sentâni people on an average 84.2, proving that the great 

 arm-length is principally due to the greater forearm-length. KOCH [1906, 205] with maies of 

 Fak-Fak even found an index of 91.8! FRITSCH [Le, 161] gives for upper arm, forearm and 

 hand relative lengths of 19.0, 15.2 and 10.7, and a humero-radial index of 80 (TOPINARD 

 [1885, 1043] f° r Europeans gives 72.5), besides stating that the superior length of the female 

 arm is due to a longer humérus ; contrary to this with the H. B. women it is the forearm 

 which is the longer; also with the Tugeri women (KOCH Le.) the index is higher (89.8) than 

 with the maies (77.1). 



The next table contains the girths ofthe upper limb, absolute and proportionate 

 to the length of the arm as a whole.
