It is extremely flifficult thc'ii to come to any conclusion about the pigmentation 
of the Greeks, but as far as our evidence goes at present we can affirm that blue 
eyes locally are not uncommon and that pigmentation does not appear to bear 
a definite correlation to cephalic index. 
Our figures as a whole appear to shew that we have in the Greek world 
considerably different local types which conform as far as our evidence goes at 
present more to a short brachycephalic race, than to any other type ; it is possible 
to form certain groups which on the whole with such limited evidence as is at our 
disposal conform, the Cretans and especially v. Luschan's Selinots and Sphakiots 
being at one end of the scale, i.e. tallest and most long-headed, the Lycian gypsies 
at the other. We are not inclined to lay much stress on the grouping which 
results from a study of the means alone : taken in conjunction with the question of 
variation it would appear to be of great importance. 
If then we cornjmre the variations as a whole, certain points of importance 
appear (see Table XII in which the standard deviations of indices and the

coefficients of variation of absolute measurements have been tabulated). Un- 
fortunately few measurements have been published on Lycian Greeks and Turks 
and they cannot therefore be included in our Tables. There is a general agreement 
in variation but the Cretans appear to be slightly more variable than the rest, this 
variation dating — on the evidence of cranial indices alone — at least from Middle 
Minoan times. On the other hand the series from Selinos and Sphakia measured 
by V. Luschan shew a remarkably low variation ; we have shewn however that 
in some measurements Hawes obtained very different means, although he has wot 
published his figures sp that comparison of variations is impossible. We are 
inclined to believe therefore that v. Luschan did not obtain a normal sample of 
the population. It is not possible to discover whether his sample was due to some
