back half of the medial part of the tracing, as can also be seen in the contours published 

 by SCHELLONG [1891, PI. V and VI]. With other peoples who go bare-footed, the same bend 

 may be found (MARTIN [1905, 273, 274]), and the Negroes even passed as a flat-footed race, 

 until MUSKAT [1902] proved this opinion to be untenable. 



The natives of the Augusta River (HoLLRUNG [1888, 306]) and the Agaiambo swamp 

 (Annual Report [1902 — 03, 14; 1904 — 05, 6], Robinson [1904, 244], Pôch [1906, 612]) 

 are known by their atrophie legs; sabre-shaped legs were reported by COMRIE [1877, 104], 

 rhachitic pygmies by PôCH [1905, 449], whilst X-formed legs, fréquent in the coast people, 

 as also stated by SCHELLONG [1891, 158], might be ascribed to the peculiar position adopted 

 (p. 198) whilst boating. PI. L ofters examples of this deformity, also occurring with women 

 (N°. 43, PI. XL VII). Only the great trochanters are supported by the side-boards (see 

 fig. 130, p. 200), which causes a pronation of the thighs, already in adduction owing to the 

 narrowness of the opening of the boat, whilst the lower legs diverge in the hollow of the 

 hull and the feet are pressed against the sides. 



The length of the neck (chin to sternal notch) with the H. B. people is -jj m. m. 

 (relat. 4.7), with the Sentâni people 64 m. m. (relat. 4.0). The measurements of the trunk 

 (seat to sternal notch) are given in the following tables.

The dwarf Korobala (ROBINSON [1904, 244]) had a relative girth of chest of 50.9. 

 With the maies the musc, pectoralis major is sometimes strongly developed and 

 prominent. The women of H. B. hâve relatively a somewhat greater girth of chest and of
