Correction for stature has slightly but mot materially reduced the corre- 

 lation betweem body-weight amd pufee-rate. The partial correlations 

 for the males amd for the males amd females are about 3.6 times as large 

 as their probable errors amd may be statistically sigmificamt . 



The correlations between body-weight,, w y amd pulse-^ate, p, for the 

 several adult series amd the partial correlation betweem body-weight 

 amd pulse-rate for constant stature appear am table 17.

The constants are both low and irregular, sometimes negative and 

 sometimes positive in sign. They indicate practically no relationship 

 between body-weight and pulse-rate in men, but suggest a slight nega- 

 tive relationship in women, i.e., that slower pulse is associated with 

 greater body-weight. With regard to their probable errors the corre- 

 lations are practically without exception statistically insignificant in 

 magnitude. Only the original series of women and (through its influ- 

 ence) the total series of women show a correlation over 3 times as large 

 as its probable error.
