The presence of a non-Mongoloid brachycephalic race with round and broad face and large prominent nose which entered from n.-w. and evidence of which has been found in the later periods of the Harappa culture, was also noticed from ADICHANALLUR and cairns of s. India. At present the brachycephalic non-Mongoloid races are dominant in Gujarat, Karnataka and Bengal. Mixed with the older basic long-headed type and the Proto-Australoid races, it occurs very largely in Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu.
