The agreement is seen to be fairly close. 
An examination of these Tables will, I think, establish the conclusion that the 
Moorfields and Whitechapel skulls are strikingly similar both as regards means 
and variability, and that the peculiar features on which I dwelt when discussing 
the Whitechapel crania are present in the Moorfields also. Moorfields females 
show even greater average length than Whitechapel, and in spite of their greater 
breadth the cephalic index, 75, is much less than that assumed for modern English*. 
The above conclusion is confirmed by an examination of the abnormalities of the 
present series, which will be given later on. 
I add a specification of the Moorfields crania, for purposes of comparison.
