In order to examine whether there is any evidence of local common factors controlling the form of both neurocranium and cervical vertebrae, the principal components from the metric data of 30 male and 20 female skeletons were transformed by KAISER'S normal varimax rotation method. The rotated solutions obtained show that most of the factors which are significantly correlated with one or two of the main neurocranial measurements, i.e., cranial length, breadth and height are not the local common factors which are also associated with the cervical vertebrae. This, together with the direct results of the principal component analyses, suggests no relationship of the cervical vertebrae with brachycephalization.
