A Racial Study of the Fijians

The author presents a systematic anthropometric survey of Fijian populations, detailing habitat, population background, and measurement methods before reporting extensive statistics on stature, limb and trunk proportions, cranial and facial dimensions, and derived indices. Morphological observations cover skin, hair, eye pigmentation, hair form and quantity, cranial and facial morphology, and other external features, with regional comparisons and statistical summaries. Plates illustrate maps and anatomical variation. The report concludes with interpretations of regional physical variation and a bibliography of sources.
