Here we find the Malayan women, highest of our new series, intruding into the 
European group, which previously remained exclusive, at the top of the list: that 
they really are higher up in this respect than English Men (Whitechapel) is not 
absolutely proved, since the difference between them, 0-7, would not be equal to 
three times its probable error*. In any case, both Malayan series and both Burman 
series approach more nearly to the Modern European values than any of the non- 
European races cited with the exception of the Moriori ; while the Burmese hybrids do 
not lag far behind. The Dravidian series finds its place towards the bottom of the list. 
Another feature which deserves special notice is the group of nasal measure- 
ments and indices. The comparative study of the nasal bridge to which Beningtonf 
devoted some attention in our own Laboratory was later made the subject of ex- 
tensive research there by Kathleen V. Ryley and Julia Belli:. 
To the list of races arranged in order for values of the Simotic and Dacryal 
Indices § I can now add my three Burmese Groups.
