摘要：
Measurements are given of 901 adult modern skulls from Glasgow. On the basis of the coefficient of racial likeness the affinities of the [male] skulls are in the following order: British Iron Age, 17th century Londoners from Whitechapel, Lowland Scottish, 17th century Londoners from Farringdon St., Anglo-Saxon, British Neolithic. The Whitechapel [female][female] resemble the West Scottish most closely, followed by Lowland Scottish and Iron Age; the remaining groups follow the sequence shown in the [male]. The close affinity between the modern West Scottish type and the British Iron Age type lends support to Morant''s conclusion that the modern population of most of Scotland is directly descended from the Iron Age type, which has not been essentially modified since its first appearance. Many of the West Scottish skulls had the low retreating forehead and the comparatively low cranial vault characteristic of the Whitechapel skulls.
