It would seem that, if height and bulk of chest increased proportionately in sepa- 

 rate races, then the mean dimensions from the same when compared should develop 

 similar regularity of relation. For example, in the preceding tables the white natives 

 of the United States exhibit this gradation in marked degree ; so, also, do the colored 

 men ; yet the mean result shows the liighest stature associated with the smallest girth 

 of chest, and the largest cii'cumference of chest with the lowest stature in these two 

 cases : 



Mean height. Mean girth of chest. 



White natives of the United States G7.672 33.418 



Colored natives of the United States 66.531 33.691 



It is to be remembered that the same number of men were subjected to measure- 

 ment for girth of chest as for stature.
