Obviously,to him all dolichocephals from London to Tokyo are Mediterraneans and all brachycephals on the same trace are Alpinids, so to say.
Any thoughts on this?

In fact "orientalids" are a small mediterranid variety ; not that he did not want to see the diffrence between SE gracil meds proper and orientalids but just that he tied them all in a same larger group.
BTW when Coon talks about "mediterraneans in the Larger sense" one must understand "aurignacids" I.E. lepto-dolicomorph europoids grouping thus the Mediterranean proper , the atlanto-meds, the nordids and all the African-Asian cuacasoid leptomorphs: arabids, saharids, iranids, indids.
