When the trochanter height of the types of the men of Taytay is contrasted 

 with that of the women, it is noted that the relative trochanter height increases 

 with increase of stature, but the Primitive, jModified Primitive, Australoid, and 

 Blend of the women have a relative height about the same, with varying stature, 

 and the Alpine, Iberian, B. B. B., and Adriatic also have a relative height about 

 the same, but different from that of the other four types. The stature varies also, 

 but is higher in the last four than in the first four, except the Alpine, which 

 is less than the Modified Primitive and Blend. 



Pfitzner * has demonstrated tliat the relative bodj' length decreases 

 with increase of stature in both male and female from a stature of 41 

 centimeters to that of 180, and the relative length of the extremities 

 (arm and leg) increases with each increment of stature. This is cor- 

 roborated by my findings, and it would appear that the greater relative 

 leg length is no more than an additional increment of stature, or that 

 stature and leg length are highly correlated. This is no doubt true, and 

 as demonstrated by Martin and others the upper leg length and stature 

 are more highly correlated than are other parts with the stature. How- 

 ever, the cause of the correlation is as yet, undefined. If it is a matter 

 of stature, then additional statiire causes additional and relativelj^ longer 

 limbs. If it is a matter of limb development, then the long extremities 

 cause greater height, but not so great in proportion to the leng-th of the 

 extremities. If it is a matter of the interplay of factors ia development, 

 then the undeveloped have small stature and relatively less limb length 

 and the fully developed, or overdeveloped, have tall stature and relatively 

 greater limb length. This is probably the true cause, and not only is it 

 true in the development of the individual, but also in the development 

 of the species. The Primitive and its related types are early species of 

 man, and the form is retained more largely in women at present, with 

 small stature, relatively long body and relatively short extremities ; where- 

 as the Iberian and its related types are more recent species of men and 

 have the form retained more largely in men, with tall stature, relatively 

 short body and relatively long extremities.

 from the acromion process to the finger tip may be considered in thif
