A very cursory examination of this table will reveal a number of interesting and
important facts.
(1) The wide range over which the percentages are scattered suggests that there are
very real differences between the several stocks as to the extent to which assimilation by
‘ntermarriage has taken place.
(2) The tendency for men and for women to marry within their own group fluctuates
within approximately the same limits, but the average percentage is some four points higher
for the women. An examination into the causes of this will he attempted in a subsequent
part of this chapter.
(3) While, on the whole, much the same order obtains in the two columns of Table 60,
there are a number of exceptional cases where the percentage of endogamous marriages for
the men differs considerably from that for the women of the same group. For example,
33.3 p.c. of the Icelandic men were married to Icelandic women, and only 70-6 p.c. of the
Leelandic women had married Icelandic men. The reverse is true for the Bulgarians, for
instance, where 51.5 p.c. of the men had married within their group and 94.6 p.c. of the
women. A detailed examination of this table will reveal many such differences.
The table ag it stands gives the percentage for the individual origins. Further light is
thrown on the differences by grouping them according to colour, geographical and linguistic
divisions. Re-arranging Table 60 on the lines of this eroup classification the following
analvsis is obtained: —
