65 inches, and nnder fi7 inches. 



67 inches, and under 69 inches. 



69 inches, and under 71 inches. 



71 inches, and under 73 inches. 



73 inches, and over. 

 The next quality of the table is girth of chest at expiration, which is divided into 

 six degrees: 



Under 29 inches. 



29 inches, and under 31 inches. 



31 inches, and luider 33 inches. 



33 inches, and under 35 inches. 



35 inches, and under 37 inches. 



37 inches, and over. 

 Lastly, expansion of chest is divided into the following four degi'ees : 



1 inch, or less. 



Over 1 inch. 



Over 2 inches. 



Over 3 inches. 

 Table No. 1 in reality consists of eight separate tables, and each table illustrates 

 the relation of the subsidiary qualities to a degree of stature in men from every district 

 of each State represented. The table must be followed across the open page in all 

 cases. The successive degrees of stature commence their details at pages 2, 12, 22, 

 32, 42, 52, 62, and 72. 



Under each of these degrees of stature will be found — 



1. The circumference of chest at expiration, in six consecutive columns, denoting 

 the six degrees of girth described. 



2. Beneath each degree of girth of chest, four columns, denoting the four degrees 

 of expansion of chest. 



In this manner is shown, under each degree of stature, the number of men (of 

 the specified height) of each degree of circumference of chest at expiration; and at 

 each degree of circumference of chest is shown the number of men presenting each 

 degree of expansion of chest. 



By adding the rate of expansion of chest to the girth of chest at expiration, the 

 circumference at inspiration is obtained. 



Totals. — The totals are twofold. If the columns be followed horizontally, the 

 first four totals will show the number of men in the State at the four several rates of 

 expansion of chest; all of them being at the lowest girth of chest, and of the height 

 indicated at the top of the page. The fifth total consists of the addition of the pre- 

 ceding four, and shows the total nimiber of men in the State of the girth and height 

 in question. The process is repeated in the five following columns of girth of chest, 

 and, if the line be still followed horizontally, on the extreme right of the right-hand 

 page will be found the total number of men in the State of the particular degree of 

 stature which heads the page. At the foot of the page which ends the series for each 

 degree of stature (for example, on page 10) will be seen a line entitled "Grand total
