Measurements. 



1. Stature. — As in former years the stature was measured as the 

 person stood in his boots, but the thickness of the heel has in each case 

 been deducted so as to get as nearly as possible the true height. The 

 stature of the males and females at the difl'erent quartiles, according to 

 Mr. Galton's method, and the probable deviation (indicated by the 

 letter Q), which is half the difference between the first and third quartile, 

 are as follows : — 



2. Heif/ht ivhen Sitting. — This gives the length of the trunk of the 

 body including the head and neck, and is as follows : — 



.3. Heir/ht trhen Kneeling. — This measurement, along with the two 

 previous ones, enables us to calculate the amount contributed to the 

 height by the thigh, and by the leg from the knee downwards. 



4. Length of Lower Limbs. — This is obtained by subtracting the sitting 

 height from the stature ; the difference between these two measurements 

 gives the amount contributed to the total height of the lower limbs. 



5. Length of Thigh Portion of the Lozrer Limb. — This is obtained by 

 subtracting the length of leg and height of foot from the length of the 

 lower limbs : —
