7. Race of Borreby — Another brachycephalic race, but of tall stature and with a broad high face, has been found in several localities, notably in Denmark and the British Isles. This race appears only at the very end of the neolithic epoch. It is probably the result of a cross between H. Europceus and some brachycephalic race of tall stature analogous to H. Dinariais. Some remains in central Europe may be assigned to this last race. These tall brachycephalics have been wrongly associated with certain mixed Mongolian races. There is nothing in com- mon between them except the characteristics resulting from the presence of Acrogonus among the common ancestors of these races.

8. Race of Furfoos. — This race, also a mixed one, played a r61e of some importance in the western part of central Europe toward the end of the polished-stone period. It has been wrongly associated with the Finns, who appear to be mixed races of recent formation, for the different Finnic types of the present day do not appear in the sepultures before the Middle Ages. No trace of them is found in the neolithic or protohistoric tombs of Russia.

9. H. Alpinus. — I cite this form of half-breed of Acrogomis mainly for the sake of completeness, for I am not sure that it is allowable to assign it to the various neolithic skulls hitherto regarded as "Celto-Slav."

10. Acrogofius. — I cite also for the sake of completeness this type, whose existence is proved by the existence of mixed races which sprang therefrom, and necessarily, too, in various localities, for they inherit a part of their characteristics from the local races of each region from Galacia to Tibet.

I do not deem it necessary to include in this enumeration H. Asiaticus, the Chinese type, which, originating in Kashgaria, appears to have moved constantly toward the east, nor the cross between it and Acrogonus, the Mongol in the proper sense, so unhappily designated by Bory as H. Scythicus.^

'No one has maintained seriously the Asiatic origin of the dolichocephalic-brown race, although their affinities with the most ancient populations of the Orient are incontestable. It is the same for the dolichocephalic-blond race ; those writers who
