Oxford, but Oxford men are taller and longer headed. Thus they are more dolico-cephalic than the 
Cambridge men, 78-0 as against 79 - 6. MacdonelFs 3000 criminals gave a cephalic index of 78-5. The 
average head length of 196 mm. agrees fairly well with Pearson's measurements at University College, 
as the table below will indicate {Phil. Trans. Vol. 196 A, p. 251), U= Horizontal Circumference.
