Both tribes are brachycephalic; the Bororo speak an isolated language, the Cayapo belong to the Ge family. Both differ from the dolichocephalic groups to which we have referred and both doubtless represent a later migration, the Bororo having kept their own language and the Cayapo having adopted that of the Ge, with whom they came into contact. The anthropometric data cited in tables 6 and 7 are from Ehrenreich. Table 6.—Anthropometric data on 26 Bororo {from Ehrenreich, 1897 a) Measurements (mm.) and indices. Females (6) Stature (cm.)
