less than that of the much shorter Dyak. The shoulder-breadth of 20 female Timorini was 

 30,7 cm. (27 — 33Y2 î reI - acr - br - 2Ï A) so 4. 2 cm - l ess than that of the maies. The breadth 

 of the pelvis was with 24,6 cm. (22,75 — 29,75; rel. il. br. 17,2) only 1,4 cm. smaller. Also for 

 the female Timorini the relatively great pelvic-breadth 

 ■does not fail as a secondary sexual characteristic. 



The making of hand-prints was attended with 

 some difficulties. Firstly it was not easy to gain the 

 indigènes into admitting the manipulation and secondly 

 they could not leave off pressing too strongly on my 

 paper, and rubbing it, when putting down their hands. 

 •Consequently, but few of my prints hâve some dacty- 

 loscopie value.

The numbers are far Loo small to make further calculations, but yet they give an 

 opportunity to make some remarks. KLEIWEG DE ZWAAN [80] lias compared the numbers of 

 arches, loops and whirls in Europeans (Dalton), Malay of Sumatra and men of Nias. In 



1) The figure gives the number of prints that proved to be efficient.
