this is the Index {B — H)/L, which measures the excess of breadth over height 
in proportion to length, and gives us the following suggestive order:

In this table it will be noted that the Hindu women are placed considerably higher 
than the Hindu men, but having already seen that the data obtained for Hindu 
females may not be altogether reliable, it may be well if we reserve any conclusions 
that might be drawn from this until their place in the list has been confirmed or 
altered by further evidence. 
With this exception, the table gives a not unreasonable order: the Burman 
proper (Group A) is nearest to the Malayan, between that and the Chinese; Group C 
(Karens?) lies between Chinese and Hindus; and Group B is between Groups A 
and C in order, which would be expected if the surmise that it is hybrid be correct. 
The Dravidian type is the most remote of any, from the Burman type. 
Inserting these various values into the table of this index for a long series of 
races given by Thomson in the Moriori paperf we get the following:

* As the individual measurements were not given for the 21 skulls measured by Callamand, this 
index for the Maravars has had to be calculated from their mean value and from the individual 
measurements of Flower's seventeen skulls.
