ABSTRACT
In Palestine and Asia Minor there are several types of Jews. There are the Ashkenazim, consisting of immigrants from Europe, who came to die in the holy land and to be buried in sacred soil of Jerusalem. They do not differ from the Eastern European Jews who have just been described. The most interesting type of Jews is that of the Samaritans, the sect which was once quite numerous, but has so dwindled that in 1901 Huxley found only 152 of them in Nablus, and of these there were only 55 females to 97 males. The Jews of Bokhara differ from their European co-religionists. The Jews of the Caucasus are very interesting. Historically it has been proven that they have been there for more than two thousand years. In India several types of Jews are encountered. First, there are the recently arrived Jews, who do not differ at all from the types of Jews in countries whence they came from.
