1910-11.] Relative Positions of certain Biological Types. 
Robertson, who produce evidence to show it to be, in all probability, of a 
modern European type. The positions of the Dschagga Negroes and 
Veddahs in advance of the Europeans, as shown in the last line of Table 
VI., is an apparent anomaly. Remembering, however, that in the case of 
the Veddahs the values of but six of the twenty-four measurements and 
indices were known, and only nine for the Dschaggas, it admits of ready 
explanation. 
Thus, confining ourselves to the measurements and indices common to 
the Europeans and Veddahs, we have the following table : —

We see, then, that as far as these measurements go, the Europeans are 
higher in the scale than the Veddahs. The apparent anomaly above re- 
ferred to is due to the fact that, on the other sixteen counts wherein the 
Europeans are represented, the latter take a comparatively lower position 
in the scale than do either they or the Veddahs on the six counts wherein 
they are both represented. It is possible that the relative position of the 
Veddahs would be similarly altered were their other measurements known. 
Comparing the Dschagga Negroes and Europeans in the same way, we 
have — 
Dschagga Negroes. Europeans. Maximum. 
Total ..... 79-80 78-77 86*70 
Relative position . . . 0-920 0-908 
and thus the apparent interval of 0*050 becomes reduced to 001 2. 
Finally, treating the Cannstatt, Dschagga Negroes, and Europeans in the 
same way, we have — 
Dschagga Negroes. Cannstatt. Europeans. Maximum. 
Total . . . 75-01 76-59 74'63 81-91 
Relative position . 0*916 0-935 0"911 
Here, then, we see that, as far as they can be compared, the Cannstatt 
skull is higher than both the Europeans and the Dschagga Negroes, whilst
