obtained from all classes — that is to say, from recruits, substitutes, clraftod men, and 

 enrolled men. 



This and the five succeeding tables are in piu-pose and construction uniform -svitli 

 the six preceding. They exhiljit, however, an additional quality — that of Weight. 

 Tables No. 4 to No. 9 illustrate the relation of stature, girth of chest, and expansion 

 of chest to Complexion and to Age, in six nativities. The present series exhibits the 

 relation of the same qualities, in the same nativities, to Complexion, to Age, and to 

 Weight. Table No. 1 1 is necessarily without the section relating to Complexion. 



The explanation given on a previous page of Table No. 4 applies with equal pre-

 section of Weight is arranged in the same manner as the sections of Complexion 

 and Age.
