variabilities the results in Table I. below. In this case the Aino may be looked upon 
as a jirimitive uncivilised and the Germans as a highly-developed civilised race. An 
examination of this table shows that the Germans while gaining in breadth have lost 
in length, the mean auricular height for both sexes in both races remaining fairlv 
stationary. Thus the hrachycej^halic tendency is in this case accompanied by a loss 
of length, and is not merely a gain in breadth.

It will further he seen that tlie Aino are less variable than the Germans in all the 
characters under discussion,^ and in both sexes. The increase in skull capacity of 
the Germans on the Aino is less for the female than for the male, whilst in the varia¬ 
tion of this character the change is greater for the female than the male. Further, 
the variability of the two sexes is more nearly ecpial in the Ainos than in the 
Germans. 
These results are in good accord with tliose obtained l>y Karl Pearsox in his 
paper on “ Variation in Man and Woman,” and l)y him and myself in our paper On 
the Relative Variation and Correlation in Civilised and Uncivilised Races,” the con¬ 
clusions there reached being— 
[a.) Civilised races are more variable than uncivilised races. 
* It must be noted that the Germans are not a town population, but skulls from the churchyard 
mortuary chapels (Ochehi-Hauser) of a limited rural district.
