Note 4 — SEVENTH SERIES. FOUR SKULLS FROM DEBOD, IN NUBIA.

It will be observed, on comparing this table with the original one published in the Proceedings of the Society for December, 1842, (and since republished in Mr. Gliddon’s Ancient Egypt,) that there is a great difference in the relative number of Pelasgic and Egyptian heads; which fact has been already adverted to, and explained, (page 4.) I have been governed in the present classification, by the manifest presence of the Egyptian physiognomy, even in those instances in which it appears to be blended with an equal and even preponderating Pelasgic character. It will be observed, however, that the whole number of Caucasian heads is nearly the same in both tables; and that the relative proportion of Semitic, Negro and Negroid crania is unaltered.
