[24] Dr. Strong has referred (_Geographical Journal_ for September,
1908, p. 272) to the considerable areas of open grass country at the
source of the St. Joseph river; and in his remarks which appeared in
the _Annual Report_ for June, 1906, p. 28, he referred to the same
matter, and spoke of the valleys being for the most part less steep
than those of the Kuni district.
[25] I must state that Plate 2 represents a scene taken from a spot
near to Deva-deva, which, though close to what is regarded as the
boundary between the Kuni and Mafulu areas, is in fact just within
the former. The general appearance of the scenery is, however,
distinctly Mafulu.
[26] Dr. Strong's measurements of seven Mafulu men referred to by
Dr. Seligmann (_Journal of Royal Anthropological Institute_, Vol. 39,
p. 329) showed an average stature of 59 1/2 inches, and an average
cephalic index of 80.0. It will be noticed that my figures show a
somewhat higher average stature, but that my average cephalic index
is the same. Dr. Seligmann here speaks of the Mafulu as being almost
as short as the men of Inavaurene, and even more round-headed.
[27] This is the index calculated on average lengths and breadths. The
average of the indices is 83.8, the difference arising from the
omission in working out of each index of second points of decimals.
[28] Dr. Keith thinks they are all skulls of males. They are now in
College Museum, and are numbered 1186.32, 1186.33 and 1186.34 in the
College Catalogue.
