is 81*1. If we consider 75 as the upper limit of dolichocephaly 
and 80 of mesaticephaly, eighteen of Dr J0rgensen’s are brachy- 
cephalic and fifteen mesaticephalic. We may say, therefore, that 
were a large series of skulls of the people of the Faroes, leaving 
the island of Suderoe out of account, to be examined, it is probable 
that the great majority of them would be found to be mesati- 
cephalic, while a comparatively small number would be dolicho- 
cephalic, and a less small number brachycephalic. Dr J0rgensen’s 
data show that the proportion of individuals with dolichocephalic 
or low mesaticephalic heads would be greater in Suderoe than 
elsewhere in the Faroes, as is noted below. 
The vertical height of the head, measured between the vertex 
and a line joining one external auditory meatus to the other, is, 
in every individual in my series, less than the greatest parieto- 
squamosal breadth, and in every case but two, very considerably so. 
Professor Cunningham’s craniometer permits this measurement to 
be taken on the living person Avith considerable accuracy, but the 
question how far it corresponds to the basi-bregmatic height of the 
skull is a difficult one. The centre of the external auditory meatus 
is certainly, in most cases, several millimetres higher than the
