 EPILOGUE. 281 villages are found far apart, which, according to anthropological resemblances, belong together. By lines of different colors the frequency of the different types — hyperbrachycephalic, brachy- cephalic, mesaticephalic, and dolichocephalic — is demonstrated in a clear manner, and each conglomeration of specimens of the one or the other of these types can be seen at a glance. The distribution of the frequency of the differ- ent colors of eyes and hair is marked on a spe- cial map by lines of different color. This latter map is the first of its kind to demonstrate the frequency of these characteristics for each special type. Dr. Stephanos has improved craniometric methods by demonstrating certain characteristics by means of measurements, and has in this man- ner given the value of these characteristics in exact mathematical form; he has also comple- mented the "seriation" method by means of which we are enabled to determine and to distin- guish, in all cases in which different types come under consideration, that part which belongs to the one or the other of the different types, and which are the oscillations and the maxima of fre- quency of each cephalometric character in each series.
