620 REPORT— 1892. 



Profile of Nose. — The outline in profile of the nose has been recorded, 

 according to Broca and Topinard's standards, published on plate iv. oppo- 

 site page 20 in the second edition of ' Notes and Queries on Anthropology ' 

 just referred to. The straight form (fig. 1) greatly predominates, but the 

 booked form (fig. 3) is also met with. As it appears uncertain whether 

 or not a little confusion has arisen in some of the forms, further analysis 

 is omitted. 



Height. — For the sake of convenience persons were measured with 

 their boots or shoes on their feet, but to ascertain their actual height the 

 thickness of the heels was also measured and subtracted from the total 

 indicated height. 



The stature of the males at the 25th grade is 1,688, at the 50th 1,740; 

 and at the 75th, 1,774 ; the 'Q ' or half the difference between the stature at 

 the 25th and 75th grades is 43 mm., giving a corrected mean stature of 

 1,731. The stature of the females is at the 25th grade 1,562 ; at the 50th, 

 1,612 ; and at the 76th, 1,662 ; ' Q ' is therefore 50, making the corrected 

 mean 1,612. 



Height when Sitting. — This measurement gives the length of the head, 

 neck, and trunk of the body. In the males, at the 25th grade, it is 886 ; 

 at the 50th, 913 ; at the 75th, 9.34 ; ' Q' is 23, making the corrected mean 

 910. In the females it is at the 25th grade 825 ; at the 50th, 867 ; at 

 the 75tb, 888 ; ' Q ' is 31, and the corrected mean 856. 



Length of Lower Limbs. — When the height sitting is subtracted from 

 the standing height the ditference indicates the amount contributed to the 

 stature by the lower limbs. In the males this is at the 25th grade 801 ; 

 at the 50th, 826 ; at the 75th, 840 ; the corrected mean is therefore 820. 

 In the females it is at the 25th grade 737 ; at the 50th, 745 ; at the 75th, 

 774; and the corrected mean is 756. 



Length of Leg and Height of Foot. — This is obtained by subtracting 

 the kneeling height from the standing height. The latter is at the 25th 

 grade 1,262 ; at the 50th, 1,303 ; at the 75th, 1,328 ; 'Q' equals 33, and the 

 corrected mean, 1295. Subtracting these figures from the corresponding 

 figures of the standing height previously given we find the length at the 

 25th grade is 426 ; at the 60th, 436 ; at the 75th, 446 ; 'Q' equals 10, and 

 the corrected mean 436 in the males. 



In the females the kneeling height is at the 25th grade 1,175 ; at the 

 50th, 1,225 ; at the 75th, 1,262 ; ' Q ' equals 43, and the corrected mean 

 1,218. The length of the leg and foot portion of the limb in the females 

 is therefore at the 25th grade 387 ; at the 50th, 387 ; at the 75th, 401 ; 

 ' Q ' equals 6-6, and the corrected mean 394. This case illustrates the ad- 

 vantage of using the corrected mean as well as the calculated mean. It 

 will be observed that the latter is considerably higher in the kneeling 

 height than the former ; hence in the length of the lower segment of 

 the limb the length at the 25th and 50th places is the same, which is not 

 the case, and what it should be is shown by the corrected mean. No 

 doubt this anomalous condition arises in part from the small number of 

 females measured, and in part from the fact that the estimate has 

 been made by subtraction and not by actual calculation from the figures 

 themselves. 



Length of Thigh Portion of the Lower Limb. — This is ascertained by 

 subtracting the length of the leg and foot portion from the total length 

 of the limb. In the males it is at the 25th grade 375 ; at the 50th, 390 ; 

 at the 75th, 394 ; ' Q ' equals 7, and the corrected mean is 384. In the
