5. Com/parison ofMoriori cranial Characters with those of other Races. In Tablelll 
I have gathered together such material as seemed of interest for comparative 
purposes. Unfortunately I have not been able to obtain a good series of Australian 
measurements for comparison, but the values of the few characters given by 
Robertson for fairly long series, show that there is little relationship between the 
two races. In the first place we put Scott's Maori values. We follow these by 
data for the Aino, the means being calculated from the measurements in Koganei's* 
Tables ; then such slender results as we have been able to obtain for the Fuegiansf . 
Lastly we place three Negro races, North Africans J and Benington's Congo and 
Gaboon measurements §, to complete the series of non-European primitive races. 
For European races we give English || and Bavarians^ as modern representatives, 
and the Long Barrow ** as an ancient race, unfortunately with very slender numbers. 
Finally the Egyptians find representation in Fawcett's Naqada measurements If. 
In Table III we have been obliged to make various assumptions to deduce 
certain of the values provided. They are either not provided by the authorities 
cited, or have been differently measured. The difficulties are greatest when we 
come to deal with orbital and palate measurements, where most divergence of 
method has existed. We have in certain cases had to allow for length of spine 
or breadth of alveolar arch as obtained from other cranial series. Again some 
authorities do not record the index J J 100 B/H or the gnathic index, and these have 
had to be supplied from the ratio of mean values. All such measurements are 
enclosed in square brackets, and when especially doubtful are marked by queries. 
In other cases where the numbers dealt with are quite inadequate the values are 
enclosed in curled brackets. W^e cannot in the present paper deal at length with 
the basis of these corrections and modifications but a few words as to our treatment 
of Fuegian data may make clear certain points. The fundamental memoir here 
is that of Rudolf Martin. He had only five Fuegian crania, but before his date,
