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

 (taken as 100) by the main measurements are given in this as in pre- 

 vious reports. They bring out distinctive points not otherwise obtain- 

 able, and show considerable differences from those obtained from the 

 measurements of people in other localities. 



Face : The face is long in proportion to the stature, the average 

 being 7*2 (as against 6-6 of the canon) but relatively with the 

 average of other districts surveyed it is short. The extremes noted 

 in the islands were 6-2 and 8-3. 



TJfper Face. — The mean proportion for this measurement is 4-0, 

 as against 4-4 for Inishbofin, 4-3 for the Mullet and Inishkea, 4-16 for 

 Ballycroy, 4-6 for Clare Island and Inishturk. The extremes noted 

 wei'e 3*3 and 4-7. 



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

 The mean for this proportion is 2*9, and the proportions noted varied 

 between 2-4 and 3-5. 



Sitting Height : The proportion borne to the stature by this 

 measurement is about the same as that noted in Clare Island. The 

 mean of the 65 measurements is 52-2, and the extremes noted were 

 50-5 and 55-8.
