(c) Physical Proportions. — The proportions borne to the main 

 measurements to the stature (taken as 100) are of interest, as 

 differing somewhat from those observed in other districts surveyed, 



Face. 



The face is long in proportion to the stature, though less so than 

 in any of the other localities reported on, the mean being 7 "2, as 

 against 7-3 for Ballycroy; 7*6 for the Aran Islands; 7-5 and 7*4 for 

 the Mullet and Tnishkea. The canon is 6*68. The extremes noted 

 were 6"5 and 8'3. 



Upper Face. — The mean is 4-6, as against 4*4 for Inishbofin ; 

 4-3 for the Mullet ; and 4-2 for Ballycroy, thus showing an excep- 

 tional length for this part of the face. 



Nose. — This does not bear a very constant proportion to the 

 stature, the extremes being 3*4 and 2-5. The mean is 2*9, less than 

 observed in any of the other localities, the lowest of which (the 

 Mullet) had a mean for this proportion of 3-1. The canon is 3'3. 



Sitting Height. 



The sitting height is, on the average, midway between that of the 

 Mullet (51-3) and Ballycroy (o3-l), the mean being 52-1. The 

 extremes were 54'5 and 47-4, a wider range of variation than met 

 with before. 



Upper Limb. 



Spa7i. — The span stretch was in every case in excess of the 

 stature, and in almost all the cases was exceptionally great. The 

 average of the 56 men measured was 105 '7, the same as for Bally- 

 croy. 



Hand. — The hand is short for the stature, the mean proportion 

 being 11*2, with extremes of 12-2 and 10-6. 



Forearm. — This section of the arm is long, as the mean proportion 

 is 15-1, nearly the same as Ballycroy (15-3), the Aran Islands (15"1), 

 and shorter than the average for the Mullet, &c. The extremes were 

 16-0 and 14-0.
