74 A BIOMETRIC STUDY OF BASAL METABOLISM IN MAN. 



If the influence of stature upon the correlation between body-weight 

 and pulse-rate be eliminated by determining the partial correlation 

 between body-weight and pulse-rate for constant stature, the results 

 are practically unchanged. The partial correlations, like the correla-

 pulse-rate. Note the lack of relationship as shown by wide scatter of individual 

 measurements and slight slope of the line. Compare diagrams 6 and 7.
