Total points 919.25 



If we divide 919.25 (the total number of points) by 80 

 (the total number of rams exhibited) we have a quotient of 

 11.49, which represents the mean of purity. 



THICKNESS OF FLEECE AT SHOULDER. 



The thickness of the fleeces taken at the shoulder varies 

 from 1.771 inch to 4.330 inches. It was found to be in 



80 Rams in all 



235.231 total length. 



On dividing 235.231 inches (the total thickness of the 

 fleeces) by 80 (the number of rams), we have 2.940 inches as 

 the average thickness for each. 



We would observe that the averages of purity of race 

 and of thickness of fleeces are far from having, in our eyes, 

 the value of the numbers of which they are the result. 



On again consulting the notes taken respecting each 

 ram, we see that the fleeces are the thicker on the animals 

 that have inherited the greater number of points on account 

 of their purity of race. There is, however, one exception,
