The People of the Faroes
The physical anthropology of the Faroes has recently been described in a very elaborate manner, as far as the island of Suderoe is concerned, by Dr F. Jørgensen (1), who was resident there as a medical man for some years. While pointing out, however, that the people of Suderoe differ considerably fr...

The physical anthropology of the Faroes has recently been described in a very elaborate manner, as far as the island of Suderoe is concerned, by Dr F. Jørgensen (1), who was resident there as a medical man for some years. While pointing out, however, that the people of Suderoe differ considerably from those of the ‘northern islands,’ he only gives a comparatively small series of data regarding the latter, nor does he state to which of the northern islands the men he examined belonged, or even whether they came from one island or from several. Apart from Suderoe, there are sixteen inhabited islands (fig. 1) in the group, and between some of them very little communication exists even at the present day. In historical accounts of the Faroes the six following islands are usually called the ‘northern isles,’—viz., Kalsoe, Kunoe, Boroe, Wideroe, Fugloe, and Svinoe,—but I take it that Dr Jørgensen would include at least Osteroe, Stromoe, and “Waagoe also.
