It will be noticed that the differences are in every case systematic, and that 
in all cases but two they are so great that they can hardly be due to accident*. 
Since Professor Myers' subjects are larger men than those measured here, but 
have smaller cephalic indices, there appears to be a negative correlation between 
cephalic index and stature, contrary to what has been found for Alexandrian 
criminals, but similar to the result obtained in Nubia (see p. 68, footnote). 
* [Differences of head-spanner used, and exact method of measurement deserve to be fully considered. 
The correlation of stature and cephalic index within the race is very small and it is difficult to believe 
that the selection of the former could be the source of the systematic differences recorded of the latter.
