Fig. 2. — Curve showing the distribution of statures among 150 adult males 

 of the Kharga Oasis. 



The range of variation extends over 24 cm., or ± 0.073 per 

 centimeter of the average, which can not be regarded as excessive. 

 The distribution of the statures, however (fig. 2), is somewhat 

 peculiar. If considered centimeter by centimeter, it gives two sepa- 

 rate modes well apart. These conditions are probably not without
