Hach of these divisions progressing by 25mm., they may roughly be 
taken to represent inches, 1™575 being equivalent to 62 inches, and 1™-600 — 
to 63 inches, and so on. i 
The stature of persons measured at Bath Meeting contained in last 
year’s Laboratory Report are somewhat different, as there we found that 
the corrected male mid-stature was 1™:725, and that of the females 
1™'587. 
LENGTH OF THE Bopy WHEN SITTING. 
The length of the trunk of the body indicated by the sitting height 
varies in the males from 800mm. to 960mm., the mid-length being 896mm. 
At the 25th grade it is 862mm., andat the 75th grade 916mm.; the pro- 
bable deviation is therefore 27mm., giving a corrected mid-grade of 
889mm. In the females this length varies from 790mm. to 910mm., mid- 
length being 830mm. At the 25th grade it is 805mm., and at the 75th 
grade 858mm. 27mm. therefore represents the probable deviation, giving 
a corrected mid-grade of 830mm., or 59mm. less than in the males. In 
last report the corrected mid-grade of body length was found to be 
900mm. in the males, and 847mm. in the females.
