ANTHROPOLOGICAL MAP OF SWEDEN

SHOWING THE DISTRIBUTION OF THE PURE NORDIC TYPE IN
DIFFERENT PROVINCES (SE TABLE I).

The light parts in the map comprise the provinces, in which more than 10
per cent of tne population show a pure type of this kind. The rest have
a more mixed population. The examinations that arc the basis of this map
and the tables I and II, are made on dose upon 45,000 Swedish Conscripts.
According to Anthropologia Suecica.

per cent of the inhabitants are
of pure Northern biood. These
provinces are Södermanland,
Närke, West Gothaland (Väs*
tergötland), Dalsland, Wärm*
land, Westmanland, Dalcar*
lia (Dalarna), Härjedalen and
Jämtland. Dalsland shows the
maximum with 18.3 per cent.
The two provinces in the
north (Lappland and Väster*
botten) marked with double
lines, show the minimum with
something over 5 per cent.
The inhabitants of those parts
are therefore seen to be of
very mixed blood. In the
horizontally lined parts con*
sisting of Gothland (Gott*
land), Scania(Skåne),Halland,
Blekinge, and Ångermanland
there is also to be found a
population of very mixed des*
cent. In a lesser degree this
can also be said about the
vertically lined provinces. Ta*
ken on the whole one can
say that the parts which lie
near to the boundary of Nor*
way show a purer Swedish
race than do the northern
and Southern parts of the
country if one excepts Söder*
manland and Öland.

Table II shows the per*
centage in which another si*
milar Swedish type of tall
stature and fair complexion
occurs, but in which the Me*
socephali are also included.
The average for this type in
the whole country is 29 per
cent. The maximum occurs
in Härjedalen with 41.4 per
cent and the minimum in the
most northerly parts of Swe*
