FIG. 4.-Excess of stature of American-born over foreign-born. I. Bohemians, Slovaks, Poles, and Hungarians. III. Sicilians. Scale, 1 square-0.5 cm. Heavy lines indicate males; light lines, females. In this diagram is shown the difference obtained by subtracting the stature of foreign-born individuals from that of American-born individuals. The heavy base-lines indicate the difference 0. The diagram shows that among the Bohemians and Hebrews the difference is almost throughout positive, showing that in both sexes the American-born is taller than the foreign-born. Among the Sicilians the difference is decidedly under the 0-line, showing that the American-born Sicilian is not so favorably developed as the foreign-born. Among the Neapolitans the differences are irregular and small. The curve suggests, however, that among the Italians the unfavorable conditions are more marked in the females than in the males. FIG. 5.-Excess of weight of American-born boys over foreign-born boys. I. Bohemians, Slovaks, Poles, and Hungarians. Scale, 1 square=0.5 kgm. III. Sicilians. In this diagram is shown the difference obtained by subtracting the weight of foreign-born individuals from that of American-born individuals. The heavy base-lines indicate the difference 0. Only among the Hebrews does there appear to be any marked difference in favor of the American-born. Among the Bicilians the difference is markedly in favor of the foreign-born. FIG. 6.-Excess of length of head of American-born over foreign-born. I. Bohemians, Slovaks, Poles, and Hungarians. III. Sicilians. Scale, 1 square-0.5 mm. Heavy lines indicate males; light lines, females. In this diagram is shown the difference obtained by subtracting the length of head of foreign-born individuals from that of American-born individuals. The heavy base-lines indicate the difference. The diagram shows that the difference in the length of head for the Bohemian group is very slight. For the Hebrew, the head of the foreign-born is throughout longer than that of the American-born. Among the Sicilians and Neapolitans the reverse is the case. FIG. 7.-Excess of width of head of American-born over foreign-born. I. Bohemians, Slovaks, Poles, and Hungarians. III. Sicilians. Scale, 1 square-0.5 mm. Heavy lines indicate males; light lines, females. In this diagram is shown the difference obtained by subtracting the width of head of foreign-born individuals from that of American-born individuals. The heavy base-lines indicate the difference 0. The diagram shows that for the Bohemians the width of head is slightly less among the American-born than among the foreign-born. Among the Hebrews the excess of the foreign-born over the American-born is very marked. Among the Sicilians and Neapolitans the difference is, on the whole, positive, indicating an increased width of head among the American-born. FIG. 8.-Excess of cephalic index of American-born over foreign-born. I. Bohemians, Slovaks, Poles, and Hungarians. III. Sicilians. Scale, 1 square 0.5 unit. Heavy lines indicate males; light lines, females. In this diagram is shown the difference obtained by subtracting the cephalic index of foreign-born individuals from that of American-born individuals. The heavy base-lines indicate the difference 0. The diagram shows that among the Bohemians and Hebrews the cephalic index of the foreign-born is greater than that of the American-born, the lines in both cases being below the 0-line. Among the Sicilians and Neapolitans the reverse is the case. The cephalic index of the American-born is greater than that of the foreign-born, the line being throughout above the 0-line. |
