Bibliographical Reference: The following text is found in Ripley, 1913, pp.341-342:
“The perfect monotony and uniformity of environment of the Russian people is most clearly expressed anthropologically in their head form. Our results are shown graphically, it is be lieved for the first time, by the accompanying map of cephalic index. Bearing in mind that the Poles and Letto-Lithuanians along the Baltic Sea are not Russians properly, and excluding, of course, the Tatars of the Crimea, a moments consideration of our map shows at once a great similarity of head form prevailing all over Europe from the Carpathian ^Mountains east and north. The cephalic index oscillates but two or three points about a centre of 82.” [Source: Internet Archives, www.archive.org/details/raceseurope00ripluoft, JD 27/10/2009]
