When the differentiation pattern for "poorest," Infantry, v. "best," Infantry, is compared 

 with that for "poorest," Field Artillery, v. "best," Field Artillery, the two are found to be nearly 

 identical; the only difference that may be stressed is the shift in rank of test 8. The agreement 

 between the order of tests for "poorest," Infantry, v. "best," Infantry, and the order of tests 

 as to length of range is again very close; no significant differences are present. In summary, 

 then, we have four rank orders of tests which do not differ significantly from one another, except 

 in one instance. These four cases are : 



(a) "Poorest," Infantry, v. standard: 2, 1, 3, 8, 4, 7, 6, 5. 



(6) "Poorest," Infantry, v. "best," Infantry: 1, 3, 2, 8, 6, 7, 4, 5. 



(c) "Poorest," Field Artillery, v. "best," Field Artillery: 8, 1, 3, 6, 2, 7, 4, 5. 



(d) Order of tests according to length of range: 2, 1, 8, 3, 6, 5, 4, 7. 

 The one exception is the displacement of test 8 in (c).
