Anthropometry is one of the youngest scions of anthropology, and it 

 not only commends itself to advanced students, bat is applicable to 

 millions of subjects, and its processes are so easily understood that any 

 intelligent person may use them. As a result of greater deflniteness in 

 processes a more accurate nomenclature is demanded. An illustration 

 of this is to be seen in the following classification of stature by Pro- 

 fessor Zoja.
