THE VOYAGE OF H.M.S. CHALLENGER. 
Asiatics. — Table V. Plate II. 
In Table Y. I have given the measurements of the pelves of five Asiatics, all in the 
Anatomical Museum of the University. With the exception of two Hindoos, the rest are 
single specimens of their respective races — Sikh, Chinese, and Malay . 1 They can only be 
taken therefore as individual specimens, and in themselves do not give us the mean of 
their respective races.
