MEASURE OF RESEMBLANCE OF FIRST COUSINS 



15 



Hunts made by male students than in the case of the Female and Female Cousins 

 series, the absolute variabilities of the women are in every case less than in the 

 latter series. In a certain number of cases it was actually found that the user of the 

 hand-spanner had read from the sliding edge and not from the index point, but the 

 difference amounting to about 20 mm. was obvious on the face of the measurements 

 and at once allowed for by measuring the particular hand-spanner which had been 

 used. It is believed that no residual error has crept in in this manner, but the 

 point will be again dealt with below.

The measurements are in mm. 



The correlations as found by the product moment method without grouping are 

 given in Table V. Now if we looked simply at the general mean 336 of all 12 results, 

 we might conclude that the intelligence and health characters of our first series had 

 given us the more reliable results, the temperament and temper being more difficult 

 of estimate, and thence conclude that the average resemblance of cousinship was I .",.
