The final estimate will be the more reliable the larger the series of 

 subjects involved. In single individuals the error, as Dwight has shown, 

 may be very considerable, particularly in tall males (up toll. 9 cm.). 



The author obtained the following correspondences between the 

 humerus and stature in 354 male and 82 female dissecting room indi- 

 viduals, Whites, 22-25 years of age, and where both humeri could be 

 measured.

To determine from this table the stature of the living, add 2 mm. to each length; 

 take the mean of the resulting statures, and subtract 2 mm. from the final height 

 thus obtained.' 



' Dwight found that a large proportion of the errors with the Manouvrier tables 

 was due to this subtraction, and advocates that this recommendation be not followed. 

 It should be stated by the worker whether or not it was followed.
