Abstract

Data for Armenians, Arabic Moslems and Arabic Christians are given making it possible to assign these groups their racial indices. It is to be noted that Arabic Moslems and Arabic Christians, speaking the same language, living the same life, and locally thought to be the same people, yield significantly different values.

The value of this method of approach to racial relationships is questioned.

Preliminary data are presented for the Druzes and the Metwallis, both of which groups derive from the Moslems. Further work will have to be done before these groups can be either identified with or set definitely apart from the Moslem Arab.

A new family in which both father and mother belong to group AB is presented. No evidence is offered from this family or from one other, where one parent is AB, which will enable us to choose the three multiple allelomorphs theory over that of two independent pairs of factors hypothesis, but the accumulating evidence favors the former.
