with Arab blood." Sir H. H. Johnston further indicates that the Angoni were 
very unlikely themselves to be at all homogeneous ; for he tells us that a horde of 
Zulus early in the 19th century trekked northwards to avoid the tyranny of 
Chalea, some founded a Zulu kingdom in Fipa, some went northwards even as far 
as the Victoria Nyanza, " while others working eastwards became the dominant 
caste among the Wahehe and Wanzindo. After the disruption of the Zulu 
kingdom in Fipa country the bands formed the present Angoni and Magwang 
wara," (loc. cit. p. 77.) 
With such a history there would be almost certainly a mixture of the 
migrating Zulus and the original population, and it may be seriously doubted 
whether any weight at all can be given to such differences as are significant 
between Shrubsall's Zulus and Angoni. All we should be justified in saying 
would be that the differences may be due to the presence of crania belonging to 
a mixed race, or to crania belonging to a mixture of races, but no real light can 
be thrown on what elements go to build up the heterogeneity of the Angoni series. 
F. Kaffir Crania. Thirty-eight Kaffir male crania measured by Dr Shrubsall 
(loc. cit. p. 55). These Kaffirs appear to consist chiefly of Arna-mpondo, who 
inhabit Pondoland along the bank of lower Umzi-mvubu, Aba-temlu from between 
Umtata and Kei rivers, and Ama-xosa, who formerly were between Kei and Fish 
rivers, but were driven into the Transkei. Again we must feel on very unsafe 
ground in drawing any very dogmatic conclusion with regard to Kaffir cranial 
characters from this mixed and sparse material. 
G. Northern Negro Crania. This series consists of 39 male crania, the 
measurements of which were extracted from the German Anthropological Cata- 
logue. They belonged to negroes from the North of Africa (see Biometrika, 
Vol. I. p. 426). 
G bis . Broca took measurements of 77 modern negro skulls in the collection 
at Paris, and copies of these measurements were sent to K. Pearson by 
M. Manouvrier. The skulls were chiefly from North and West coasts of Africa.

* Broca's measures of capacity are exaggerated. See footnote to Fawcett's paper loc. cit. p. 428. 
The means calculated from the series G and G bis can only be of service when we are comparing negroes 
in general with other races.
