Contemporary clerical constructions of a spiritual rural idyll
Research among rural clergy in Somerset suggests that both historically and in the present, country clergy play a part in the creation, re-creation, envisioning, and transmission of a spiritual variant of the rural idyll. Earlier studies on the origins, nature, and function of the rural idyll have largely neglected this spiritual dimension. Few have regarded the clergy as an object of scholarly enquiry. What this article suggested is that rural c…
On techniques for stabilising and photographing skulls
The design and use of a small light portable craniostat is described. Made of clear polystyrene, with adjustable pegs of the same material, the device is small, light, unbreakable and easily portable. It facilitates rapid and stable positioning of skulls in any position for study of photography
On the growth of the mandible
In a cross‐sectional cephalometric study of over 800 normal white American children we show that the average ANB angle is roughly twice as large as the currently employed norms for that variable. The angle is relatively the same in females from 6 to 20 years of age, but there is a definite tendency for older males to exhibit a smaller ANB angle. The dynamics of this decrease is essentially the fact that, in the male, the mandible continues to gro…
The anthropometric determination of body composition among the Peruvian Cashinahua
The morphology and body composition of the Peruvian Cashinahua, a small unacculturated rain forest population numbering 206, has been analyzed. Measurements involve anthropometry, including skinfolds, and endosteal and periosteal breadths of the second metacarpals, taken from 135 handwrist radiographs. The analysis indicates that the Cashinahua are short and relatively heavy at all ages, and are morphologically similar to other comparable populat…
Finger dermatoglyphics of the Peruvian Cashinahua
The Peruvian Cashinahua are an isolate of unmixed American Indians living in four villages in the Southeastern part of the country. Finger dermatoglyphic data were collected from the three most closely grouped villages in the summer of 1966. The relatively low proportion of whorls and high proportion of arches, and the low values of pattern intensity (10.75) and total ridge count (89.14) contrasts markedly with other American Indian groups in gen…
