It will be readily seen that the cranial index in its three branches 
applies to each of the three divisions of humanity (subspecies), the 
significance of which seems to be that the tendency to pass from 
one to the other belongs to the whole species rather than to any 
of its three divisions.

characteristic, stature :

to give Dr. Topinard’s instructions about taking measures on the 
iving.
