If the first group of the above be examined, the following particulars of expan- 

 sion of chest are seen to be recorded : 



1 inch, or less 1 ^ 



Over 2 inches 14 > "^^^ being under 61 inches in height and 



Over 3 inches 1 ) i^mder 29 inches in gu-th of chest.

If, again, one group of these, the second for example, be examined, the division 

 according to locality becomes evident : 



From the first district 6 ^ ^11 being over 2 inches in expansion; 



From the thu-d district 1 1 ^^^j^^. 39 in inches girth; under 61 



From the fourth district .... 4 ( j^^i^^g jj^ j^^^igl^t 



From the fifth district 3 )

In a similar manner, the relation to locality of the men under 29 inches in girth, 

 irrespective of expansion, may be discovered. From the same group numbering 16 

 there will be — 



From the fii'st district 6^ 



From the third district 1 f All being under 29 niches in girth; 



From the fourth district 5 ( under 61 inches in height. 



From the fifth district 4 *

Details precisely like these are to be found in each of the five remaining columns 

 of girth of chest. The ratios across both pages indicate the relation to the whole 

 number of men examined hi the State of Maine, viz, 12,363. 



Upon turning to pages 12, 22, 32, 42, 52, 62, and 72, the continuous record of the 

 State of Maine will be observed under the advancing degrees of stature. The form 

 of tabulation and the mode of exti-acting the conclusions are, of course, identical with 

 the case just given in illustration.
