RESULTS.
From examination of these skulls it is found that—
The characters of the skulls of Anau, both in calvaria and in facial bones, do not show any different structure from the characters which commonly we find in the skulls of the Mediterranean variety with long dolichomesocephalic form.
The cephalic indices, together with the nasal index in the fragment No. 2 (plate 92, figs. 4 and 5), the form of the maxilla and of the nasal bone, show apparently this convergence of characters.
The prophatnia of the same fragment, No. 2, is not absolutely absent in the Mediterranean race.
The pentagonal form of the skull is also common in the Mediterranean race, and is a general character in the skulls of the fetus and children.
(See my memoirs: Le forme del cranio umano nello sviluppo fetale; Rivista di Biologia, Como, 1900. Nuove osservazioni sulle forme del cranio umano; Atti Società romana di antropologia, 1904. Die Variationen des menschlichen Schädels and die Klassification der Rassen; Archiv f. Anthropologie, N. F. III, 1905.)
These skulls differ absolutely from the so-called Mongolian type.
The results shown above give a certainty to my hypothesis of some years ago on the probable penetration into Central Asia of one branch of the Mediterranean variety. (See Gli Arii in Europa e in Asia, Torino, 19o3. )
