INTRODUCTION. 



At a meeting held on the 6th March, 1905, the Trustees of William Ramsay 

 Henderson, Esq. of Warriston and Eildon Hall, resolved to devote a portion of the 

 funds at their disposal to the collection of facts likely to be useful in the study of 

 Anthropology, having reference especially to the cranial conformation of man, to 

 the size and configuration of the brain and larger nervous centres, and to other 

 kindred subjects, and to publish from time to time the records of such collections 

 of facts under the designation of The Henderson Trust Reports. 



The following record of Anthropometric Observations on Inmates of Lunatic 

 Asylums in Scotland is the first of these reports. It consists of a series of tables 

 of craniological and other measurements made under the superintendence of Mr 

 J. F. Tocher, with an explanatory statement by him.
