134 PHG@NICIAN ORIGIN OF BRITONS & SCOTS

Those startling discoveries by scientific methods excited great commotion amongst the ethnologists and philologists, as it disproved their accepted theory that the ‘ Celts” of Gaul were of the same kindred as the “ Celts ” of the British Isles, and that both were Aryans; whereas it was now disclosed on the contrary that they were of different races and that neither were of the Aryan Race, although both spoke an Aryan language in different dialects.

These scientific results were fully confirmed by further measurements, which were also extended over the greater part of Europe. As these measurements disentagle the British “‘ Celts’ from the continental, and also sharply differentiate the Aryan type from both, it is necessary to glance at their leading results which are here displayed in the accompanying Table ;* and illustrated in Fig. 22.

+ This Table is based generally on that of Dr. Ripley (R.R.E., 121) ; but I have used Dr. Deniker’s “ Nordic”’ for No. I, with “* Aryan” as its synonym, as Aryans are admittedly “ Nordic,’’ and I have rejected the ambiguous and misleading “ Teutonic ’’ which is ordinarily synonymous with “ Germanic,” which is a totally different type, namely No. IT.

*“* Cephalic Index ” is the ratio of the extreme length of the head to its extreme breadth expressed in percentage. Under 80 the head is ‘“‘ Long,” and 80 and upwards it is “ Round ” or “* Broad ” (“* Germanic.”). It is the surest criterion of race along with colour. The writer, of fair complexion, has a cephalic index of 76.1.
