Mfusurtments of Women. — I was only able to obtain measurements of 

 six women, all of them from the small islands of Ugi and Santa Anna, off 

 the St. Christoval coast. 



Considering the paucitj' of the observations, the average indices 

 of the limb-measurements agree closely with those obtained for the 

 men. The average height of the women would appear from these 

 few measurements to be that which they ought to possess as com- 

 pared with the height of the men. This conclusion is based on the 

 rule given by Topinard in his " Anthropology " that for a race of 

 this stature 7 per cent, of the man's height must be subtracted to 

 obtain the proportional height of the woman.

The facial angle taken was that between a line dropt from the 

 forehead to the alveolar border of the upper jaw, and another line
