ard_, [33] as a result of his studies on the Chinese of
Kwang-si, a province of southern China, expresses the belief that
the population is greatly mixed, but all considered they appear more
like Indo-Chinese than like the Chinese proper (that is, Northern
Chinese). _Deniker_ [34] comes to a similar conclusion from a study
of the results obtained by many observers.
_Girard_ gives the following measurements for 25 males of Kwang-si:
Range Average
Height, standing meters 1.528 to 1.748 1.616
Length of head " .1815
Breadth of head " .1435
Height of head " .1270
Length of nose " .04648
Breadth of nose " .03876
Cephalic index 73. to 85. 79.52
Length-Height index 69.9
Breadth-Height index 88.5
Nasal index 67. to 95. 82.98
_Deniker_ (p. 578) gives the average height of 15,582 males, mostly
Hakka of Kwang-tung, as 1.622. The cephalic index of 61 living subjects
and 84 crania, principally from Canton, he finds to be--Living 81.2;
crania 78.2.
_Martin_ [35] presents the following data: Average height of
males--1.614; average height of females--1.498. Cephalic index
(49 males)--81.8. Length-Height index (49 males)--66.5. Nasal index
(49 males)--77.7. [36]
